    You sure? I feel like this is really difficult unless somebody already like literally never goes outside and never opens their curtains for weeks at a time

      I’ve gone like actual months without leaving the house and even this I couldn’t handle. No privacy, obnoxious lighting that’ll trigger a migraine in a heartbeat, no entertainment. Just sitting day after day staring at the wall because the stranger and you had a falling out on day 2.

      I think it’d be harder alone, but with someone else there to talk to, that’s easy. With a common goal, you could also hype each other up.

      Though for 500k, that’s lifechanging, I think could do it alone too. There’s enough space and props in there to exercise and make my own fun.

      It would suck but this is also like 4+ years of income for most people. You’d have to drag me out of there lol

        I’m just concerned the damage to your mental health wouldn’t be worth it

        Way harder to fix that than fix poor finances

          I’ve struggled with depression for around a decade now and I can’t even imagine that this would damage my mental health more than owning a house no one can take away from me would help it. I’m not the person you said “somebody who never goes outside and never opens their curtains for weeks at a time” I play a summer sport and a winter sport, go camping, exercise. 100 days is nothing and 250k (I read it as 500k each but still) is in fact 8 years of median income in the US or almost 7 in my state. That would put you more than 8 years ahead if spent smartly, that’s 8 years pay up front

          Being in a room with another person for a couple months cannot be near as painful as being micromanaged at work.

          I’m not trying to “debate you” about your perspective, just sharing mine rat-salute-2
