    Is it more convenient for you to have food already cooked delivered to you?

    I mean, that’s exactly my point. Services exist to cook and deliver food. Sometimes they’re desirable, sometimes they’re even economically profitable for the customer.

    Housing is different from food, and more important/worthwhile to own. But housing-as-a-service is still, I think, a valuable option to have.

    In my experience, financially it’s also a valuable option.

    Make your money work for you, and not for someone else.

    And yet, money is nothing in itself, unless you’re a true capitalist. You’re giving money to a landlord for him to provide you a service. You could instead invest that money in property and do the work of being your own landlord, and reap the benefits of that too.

      I f’ing hate bots/people who waste my time with nonsense.

        My apologies. Apart from the value of exchanging with other people for what they can provide, and the capitalist dream of having abstract money, money does indeed have intrinsic value.

        You can wipe your bottom with it.

        Especially the coins.
