Um, a mortgage, insurance, maintenance and repair. . . .?
Maybe you shouldn't buy crap like that, then. I never did, and this is why I never have such money problems. Just think about all the pointless spending you actually do and stop doing it. Of course, I have an advantage here, in that parting with my money actually causes me physical pain, so naturally I resist doing it.

Hegelian, I hear you on the mortgage, utilities, insurance, groceries and gas. I wouldn't have been able to get this PC built if we hadn't done a refi on our house at the end of last year.
I keep hearing all this jabbering about "mortgages". Ever since I was a kid, I knew this was a bad thing that people do when they're going to go bankrupt real soon. Why do people do this? The very idea fills me with stabbing, searing agony. Such an act would be unthinkable. No wonder you don't have any money, what with your habits of spending beyond your means. And this "insurance" is nothing more than a fraud designed purely to INSURE that you remain POOR.

My puter does something similar. It happens more often when the partition with the swap file on it is getting full. It progressively gets worse until I save the lot, go back to the hood, then back into the lot. Eventually it still gets so bad I have to quit and reload the game. Then it behaves for a while.

1) Most people don't have enough money to buy a house outright and never will. Long term, having a mortgage is cheaper than paying rent every month. I know, you just brought in a concrete mixer and built your bunker on someone else's property and have enough guns to keep them off your back, but most people don't have that option either.
2) Over the course of your life, if you put all the money you pay in insurance premiums in the bank and never touch it except to pay for the stuff that insurance would have covered, you'll come out ahead. However, a) most people would spend it on something else (better computers, Sims expansion packs, etc.) and b) if the bad stuff happens early in your life, there won't be enough money in the bank to pay for it.

Sheesh, Pes. Many of us prefer living above ground rather than in some homesteaded bunker with a dirt floor, surrounded by exterior mud walls.

That would mean you'd never be able to have a house at all, since borrowing money is always MUCH more hideously expensive. That means you're going to be stuck living out of a trailer for awhile.

See, there's that "irresponsible spending habits" problem again. And who cares what happens early? You haven't invested enough in it for it to matter, so what difference does it make? It's like playing against people who always just rush. You figure either you survive it and you'll have satisfying late-game, or you won't, and it'll be over quickly.

No pain, no gain. If you're not willing to suffer in the short term, you'll never do well in the long term.
