True story.
- when you can find a flashlight within 10 feet of you while standing anywhere in your house.
My neighbor said he thought UFOs were landing in his backyard—When you have dozens of those little brown boxes with drivers-LEDs-etc—When you reach the century mark and last but not least— When all the men in the family get lights for holidays that you’ve outgrown
When your snooker table in the basement is 75% covered with batteries, hosts, and parts envelopes and boxes. I really need to organize that stuff soon.
And did you have money left for another house?
Who wants a house anyway? If I’m not planning to stay for decades, it costs less to rent. 
huh?
I don’t know what country your in but trading a house for renting is not cheaper, however if you did spend mega bucks on your flashlights… 
Heh, I did the math last night on the overall gain/loss from owning a house for 13 years (after figuring in the money received at closing), and even with a decent payout it was still a slight net loss compared to renting for the same time period. At least, for this particular instance, the monthly cost ended up just slightly higher than a rental. Not a huge difference though.
As for the light, it wasn’t really that big a purchase… but it happened right after closing so I thought I should share. 
So how does your landlord make a profit then?
I’m assuming you moved from a larger place to a smaller one, or into a different city or somewhere with lower building prices
He doesn’t sell, he keeps renting it…
I didn’t do more than brief experiments of chatting before Internet service became unlimited time. But, around that time, I heard about people losing their houses to pay phone bills.
me confused
When the postman arrives at work and everyone in the office says “that looks like a torch sized box” and points in your direction!
When you’re too embarrassed to open your package because everyone is curious what you ordered but you know it’s your 8th flashlight in the box.
I have to admit this is the strangest one so far, i can’t fathom being embarrassed when receiving a flashlight
When at university you talk to your machine shop professor about titanium and he laughs when he learns it was all about building a flashlight…
Oh, if you pay off the whole mortgage, or buy a multi-plex, the rental price is enough to make a profit. But individual houses around here aren’t profitable to rent out while they still have an active mortgage, since the monthly fees plus maintenance are more than the going prices for rent.
Only 8 flashlights! How do you keep from hurting yourself when you trip in the dark?
So your saying the cost of ownership is much lower after the house is paid off, but if you always rent it will never be paid off
You're a flashaholic when you get a package and have no idea what's in it .
