/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

Even with all that work you are adding value to your home. I never heard of anyone losing money when they sold their house unless they were idiots who bought in a bad area or got screwed on their rates

You don't know many people, then. Or they lie to you. You strike me as someone who's never owned a home if you think it's that simple.
Once again, the average person loses money when you factor in the cost of actually maintaining a property. Please understand that just because your mortgage is one number and you sell the house for a higher number does NOT mean you "made money". You actually have to deduce the cost of upkeep - utilities, yard-work, repairs, etc. Then we didn't even begin to cover the deprecation of the dollar during the duration of ownership through inflation.
