 Don’t listen to clowns. If you want a house for your kids to grow up in and have fond memories, build a house. 

If you want to sail the world and need a yacht - buy it. 

I really can’t stand people who tell you how to live your life when everyone has different values. nostr:note1ns07e6llzl53wvn6jf5wrku7ctkf9kvem4k4dr4smvu2kext4ejqqcvxnt 
 You're goddamn right.

I choose offspring, a citadel, and the liabilities that come from staking a claim on the present and future.

And welcome to the feds who will come out looking for off grid trail cams and trip wires.

 It seems odd that he thinks renting has no strings attached. Lol. 
 To be fair, he did say 'need.' I think his point is that most people can have the use of things without the headaches of owning them. That obviously doesn't apply if your value is to keep the same house for your entire life (or while your children grow up). Owning it would be the surest way of achieving that want.

But I do agree with your sentiment. I hate it when people tell me I shouldn't spend my Bitcoin. Fuck you. The whole point of money is to express my values. Otherwise, what are we here for? 
 Rather, that I shouldn't spend my Bitcoin to buy X. 
 Few. 
 It's a subtle difference between "do as you will", and "do as I say is righteous" until you lay out out simply.

Then it's fucking clear as day.

 Exactly. Do as you please and let others do the same. Everyone has different life experiences, values, priorities and lifestyle preferences.
