Zero Symp

Aella asked this question:

And this was one of the responses:

You made a risky investment. Boo-fucking-hoo. Pouring your life savings into any one thing is an extremely dangerous thing to do. Itโ€™s stupid, fantastically so. Zero sympathy here from me. Make a bad investment decision, reap the consequences. More of the rentier class should experience this.

An important difference between the renters who canโ€™t pay and this person: when the renter canโ€™t pay, they eventually get evicted and lose their home. When the landlord canโ€™t pay for the houses theyโ€™ve over-leveraged and poorly invested themselves to buy, they still have their primary residence in which to live.

Huge difference, there.
