    When it comes to cars there are cheaper options available aswell than a brand new electric one. I would never pay that much for a car even if I could afford it. That’s almost the price of my house.

        105k€, Finland. It’s a tiny 70 year old granny cottage 10 kilometers from the city centre.

        Where do you live that your house is less than $100k? Many would like to know.

        Spent about 70s on Zillow and found this 4 bedroom home for under $90k. Finding affordable homes is quite doable. You simply won’t be living in the middle of a city.

        And yes, it isn’t a mcmansion or a penthouse apartment. It’s a perfectly livable 4 bedroom home, with a garage, central air, and very affordable taxes.
