I own property, and I’m 33. You can get there if you want it. I had to go back to school at 29 to start a new career, but it was worth it to put myself in a good financial position.
Do you own property or does your bank?:)
Not everyone is in a position to go back to school and start a new career, even if they wanted to. Of course, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try, but ‘try’ does not mean ‘succeed’ even when you do everything right (which nobody does)
I love this. You knew what you had to do to get what you wanted, and you went out there and did it.
Anyone remember Ringback Tones?
“Please enjoy the music while your party is reached” followed by the audio equivalent of a jpeg
I do now
I paid for that crap. Had a friend call me to listen to some song. Had to convince him that it does not cost anything as long as I don’t pickup.
Why pay money to hear music when someone calls you when you can pay money to make someone who
botherscalls you hear shitty music?I was never cool enough to have them, but I always thought they were neat lol
Ok this is embarrassing but as an old person, how does one get ringtones on an iphone when I only use streaming music services so can’t use an itunes library?
In the iTunes app click the [… More] on the bottom right and select Tones. To set them open the settings app > sounds & haptics > ringtone (there’s also a link to the tones store in there)
There’s also a ton of apps/websites where you can download a larger variety and even make your own, like Zedge (searching ‘ringtone’ in the app store finds a ton)
There’s also a way to do it for free but it takes like 5ish minutes rather than a few seconds. It involves using the garage band app so you can probably find a tutorial on YouTube. Otherwise, just follow what everyone else has been saying to but it if you don’t wanna do that.
the iTunes Store app on your iPhone should let you buy ringtones! in the … /More menu at the bottom, then “Tones”.
edit: good god the selection there is bottom of the barrel. good luck!

This reminds me of a Value Select short lol
Im still rocking the Kim Possible ring tone
What’s the sitch?
I am the firestarter! boooweeeeow
If you ever paid 99 cents for a ring tone, you were not born too late to own property because you are old af… like me.
EDIT: This was supposed to be a little light-hearted tongue in cheek. Lol
I’m 30 and paid 99¢ for a ringtone in 2005. Most 30 year olds cannot own property.
Depending on where you live, owning a home can be cheaper than renting. Not to mention, instead of paying someone else’s mortgage, you are investing that money in your own home and building equity. I’m 40 and I’ve owned a home for 10 years. Best decision I ever made. Yes, I do realize that everyone’s financial situations are different and home prices vary widely depending on where you live. I’m just suggesting that a person should talk to a financial planner or mortgage company to find out their options. It won’t work out for everyone, but you never know until you try.
Edit: I guess this type of good advice falls on deaf ears in a Meme community.
Yeah house prices have raised dramatically in the past 10 years
Yes they certainly have. I do photography and marketing for a real estate company. It’s still a good investment.
Wow downvoted on saying what I do for a living. Lol. Looks like everyone from Reddit has finally arrived.
Great investment. That’s the problem.
You probably got downvoted for saying that the thing that is necessary to exist in the world today without having to constantly deal with legal or systemic troubles related to homelessness is a good investment.
I doubt anyone was offended by you saying you get paid to take pictures of houses.
I’m guessing you have never had to deal with the dependency hell that is existing as a homeless person in a country like the US.
Did you know that if you don’t have an address in many states that you are unable to get a license or ID? Did you know that if you don’t have an ID you are ineligible to work in the United States? Did you know that you could try to establish your ID again by getting your birth certificate and SS mailed to you if only you had an address? Did you know that the advice to get a P.O. Box is only useful if you have two forms of Identification 1 photo, and 1 non-photo?
As someone who is queer and had to escape an abusive situation with my parents I am intimately familiar with the invisible pit falls that homelessness causes people and how the entire system has been designed to make you a 3rd class citizen, if you can even prove your citizenship at all.

We can look at this two ways, either you are wildly out of touch with your advice and don’t realize it when you saythings like “Actually it’s cheaper to own than rent, maybe ya’ll should talk to a mortgage broker and start investing” as if it’s some new revelation none of us have thought about with the millions of dollars of advertising telling us to take on a credit pull and try getting a mortgage anyway because “you never know” and how “rocket mortgage makes it easier than ever” or we can say that everyone else is out of touch because they just didn’t think to even TRY.
The first option offers no harm or harsh judgement to anyone, the second option has you as some sole arbiter of financial understanding while everyone else is just too incompetent to talk to a banker or apply for a loan and would rather squander their money trying to survive instead of building equity.
I figured you would appreciate understanding why what you said took a hit, especially considering your “looks like Reddit finally moved in” deflection taking the blame from you, and putting it on some brain dead hive mind to save ego.
Please don’t take this as an attack. I do appreciate the thoughtful response from you.
I get what you’re saying. But a lot of people are so used to the “depends where you live” reasoning because it’s obvious.
Housing should be affordable regardless of where you live. But for most people it’s not gonna happen unless you move. People should be able to afford a home where they grew up :(
A little flex, but I just uploaded the songs with some random free programs. Spent too much time personalizing the notifications when it was often on vibrate when in public.
I have one criteria for my ringtones; is it a banger? Bangers only for when I get a call.
Me paying 10$ for a terrible Time Crisis port on the Motorola razor
MULATTO BUTTS!
I discovered phone hacking with my first phone because the T-Mobile version of the Sidekick in the US was hot garbage when it came to the openness that originally led me to want the device in the first place. I was never willing to pay for something I could have easily downloaded/uploaded to my phone for free.
Oh man, I was the first kid on my block to figure out how to replace a rigntone file with whatever that program was. Felt like a legit haxor until everyone else realized how easy it was.
Man that’s crazy (frog)
Millenials lol
