Exactly! You are smart to recognize that. Ramit Sethi discusses how renting can have advantages for those reasons, but then renting (as you pointed out) is much like an HOA.

I am in grad school and do something similar with writing papers. Have to do a small treat after each section to motivate myself.

The carpet tape? I have never tried that. I would suspect that would be difficult. I have danced in clubs too and we sometimes cover w/ paint. Another convenient trick to remove anything is using baby oil.

Vance? That whole thing was so weird and embarrassing. He was like an investigator asking questions and responding with "Okay, good." Shared nothing personal. Leave them alone, get your donut and leave!

You are absolutely in the right for this. They made owning a home a nightmare for me. Raised the fee over $100/mo right after I bought, started leaving the gates open, insisted on changing the direction I put a waterfall into my yard and wanted a French drain.😬

No kidding, they have definitely driven up prices! Also affects yard sales too because now people think they can charge much larger amounts.

Exactly! So much more convenient.

Definitely give that a try. It seems to hold up better with water since it's specifically intended to resist liquid i.e. sweat.

Did you already try toupee tape? That's what I have always used.

Beautiful grayscale on this black and white!

Looks rather massive!

Just saw this and I agree it is absolutely hilarious! 😂🙏🏻

That's adorable! 😁

I will keep my fingers crossed for you! 😂🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
