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.

Depends on whether you sell harder stuff too I guess.

Funny fungus is cheap, quick, easy and low stakes with decent margins if you're careful. Or so I've heard

Just accept the fact you’ll never own a house and will forever live in a shoebox.

A whole shoebox? Luxury. My 27 brothers and I lived in a bit of rolled up newspaper on the street.
