Sometimes I look at the janitors or delivery people and think “man. What a simplistic way to do it. Sure the moneys not as good and every job has its stresses, but I can’t imagine the janitor has anxiety about their job”

My dad was a janitor when we first moved to the US. It would be wild for him to think about any of us thinking this way. He absolutely hated it and found it demeaning in so many ways. Like there are legitimate ways to feel angry at this job and it’s stresses but trust me everyone in the building would jump at the chance for our salary

I saw this townhouse in a prime location in my city for $350k (cheap for the area). The floors are all messed up though but the buyer said they’ll either lower the house price or give a credit for closing cost. There’s also a lot of nicks here and there (some locks missing from door, dents, scratches, stains, and some things are loose). But overall, the house’s architecture and design is so beautiful. Would it be worth it to get it and fix it up? Or find a newer house with less maintenance?
