And by the way - what do you think causes the financial risk of home ownership

Accidents, subpar maintenance, market changes, divorce.

Try and think a little more deeply. An accident in itself is not a financial risk. Even flooding isn't inherently a financial risk. Do you know what is?

Also, "market changes" is a part of what I'm pointing at ;)

It's capitalism!

That's cute, but also not how any of this works.

I suggest https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465060730 -- it's 700 pages but I'm sure you can do it if you put some effort in.

fosforus uses deflection!

It's not very effective!

Answer me instead of making bad jokes, coward.

By the way - are you unaware of the incredible self own inherent in this? In your attempt to "recommend" a book for more information on these issues, you recommend "basic economics". Well...

Makes bad jokes, doesn't reply to actual content or even check out the book I recommended, assumes content from book title. Calls me a coward for making bad jokes.

Well done, 10 internet points to you my friend.

Dude. It was entirely a deflection. Answer my fucking comment. I have literally no need whatsoever to respect your "recommendation". It was an attempt to avoid answering my statements and nothing more than that. So go ahead, answer. Or are you too scared?

Also, I have Cowbee's statements to lean on, which you yourself conceded to, to know what the book is like.

Answer my fucking comment.

Read the book. Educate yourself beyond the crap you've studied so far.

Also, I have Cowbee’s statements to lean on, which you yourself conceded to, to know what the book is like.

I conceded that he has such an opinion.

Do you need more internet points for being so incredible?

Still not an answer. You can say all you like, but until you answer you are only continuing to deflect.
