what would someone need 8 bedrooms for?

i assume you dont have more than 3 or 4 kids…youre either a BSD or jabroni

#22

master bedroom, bedroom for his wife when he needs some alone time, 1 bedroom for each kid, the nanny, the housekeeper. I mean that’s 6 rooms, and every self respecting BSD needs one room just to watch porn in. Oh and a guest bedroom. That’s 8. Easy to get to!

Don’t forget the windowless basement cell for the deformed twin/brother Bilo. An attic would also be a good substitute.

Inital quote was from some Eastern European dude too…

But, i’m gonna get a couple of my pals to do it. They are proper painter/decorators and have quoted me £4k; but I supply the paint. Maybe spend another £800 on reasonable quality paint (not farrow and ball or benjamin moore). £4.8k I can live with.

I’ve painted a few walls in my time. But I hate painting!! the most boring and tedious of all the DIY jobs…

^are you the dude with the wife that leaves beyond her means?

#26

If you’re just painting it, it shouldn’t be a problem, but a good painter is also reconditioning the walls as they go to create a good surface finish

8,000 square feet in NYC? That must have cost like $10-$100 million

thanks me bro!! She’s calmed down a lot recently though… I have to keep her in check.

He can handle the monthly payments with his muni income alone.

#32

^ Payments? He dropped cash for that baby. Actual greenbacks too, not some hacksaw cashier’s check.

#33

At least 3 of the bedrooms are just to store the muni interest which he keeps in notes so he can pull a Huell

Realistically though, let’s say the house costs $3 million (and is in some suburb of Westchester or something). This would create a property tax burden of about $60k per year. Who said houses were an investment?

#35

^ Everyone pays property taxes. It’s just a matter of whether you pay them directly to the town or your landlord does.

#36

What I mean is, when you choose to “upsize” from a $1 million house to a $2 million house, unless you can rely on unsustainable growth assumptions, you must think of this choice in terms of consumption, since you must pay higher taxes, interest, and opportunity costs on a more valuable property. You are not actually “saving” more money by living in a big house - you are just consuming more house. This is comparable to upgrading from renting a house that would cost $1 million to buy, to renting a house that would cost $2 million to buy.

As a direct comparison, imagine living in a $1 million house and owning-to-rent another $1 million house, compared to living in a $2 million house yourself. In the first scenario, you are renting out the excess capacity for money. In the second scenario, the excess capacity is “lost” to your own consumption.

Over a long time, buying the same house would be more economical than renting, but think of that as a long term subscriber discount to the big house - you would still probably make more money by living in a smaller house in the first place.

Accurate.

Is the shape of his head photoshopped?

No, that’s how he is. BTW, he is a hilarious comedian IRL. Lavell Crawford.
