A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Till prices rises and you need 5k for the rent, and need to go back to work, even if millionaire.

and need to go back to work

Well, that's the issue. The dividend of 2.5k from investment obviously won't allow a comfortable living and should be treated as something extra. It's pretty ridiculous to live in a big city with rent higher than the dividend and without job lol.

You think a millionaire doesn't own their estate?
