      I had a legitimate talk about doing this with my girlfriend. As much as I hate how sketchy it is, it still just seems sooo tempting.

        But is it worse than tricking other people to work 40+ hours a week doing whatever you say and giving you most of the value they create? Because that’s the other option.

        Plus if you buy a bunch of houses you can get them to give back most of the money you pay them.

      In comic, dystopian reality, selling drugs (really just weed) was how I graduated college debt-free, and graduating without debt was the only way I could take out/afford a loan for a house.

      So apparently, it’s true what they say, whether planting or selling trees, the best time to do it was 10 years ago. The second best time is now! (Except don’t)

      Not too far from reality where I live. One dude already is doing time because he was blatantly dropping cash payments on things like a HOUSE and multiple cars.

      The feds had a FIELD DAY with him.

      Damn I just thought about it and the only home owner friend I have that isn’t a drug dealer, is a cop.

      I think you’re on to something.

      My guy sold weed until he owned a house then had a kid. He figured he pressed his luck long enough. He also had an effective laundry.
