Your salary stays flat and you get passed up for promotions, many of which involve supervisor or management.

This, in theory, should stimulate demand and cause home prices to rise, in their thinking.The current administration promotes unbridled greed.

She is studying to take a test that will give her a promotion but still will be very tough.

When he got a promotion from his job he did not have a down payment but he wanted to grow his income so he sacrificed by renting out his room doubling his rental income and then packed his bags for the relocation. 

I tried various things like owning Vending machine business which was hot during 2004 timeframe with out of town companies promoting it.

Here is the numbers from their website:48 month purchase, $0 down, 0% interest promotion, monthly payment $308, total paid over 4 years $14,784 (no miles limit) total maintenance maybe $600 for those four years.48 month lease, $300 security deposit, monthly lease payment $292, total paid over 4 years $14,016 (limit of 12,000 miles)Looking at Cars.com and searching four year old Kia Rio LX, they are selling for $7000 uses, so in this example after four years, you have paid about the same in both situations, but if you purchase, you own a vehicle worth $7000 that has five years of life left. 

However, when that work became something different (not due to promotion, just simply the work was "different"), I became really unhappy.

This is according to a 2006 survey by the Consumer Federation of America.I have seen firsthand the learned helplessness the lottery promotes, the continual reinforcement with each loss of the belief that no, there is no way out of poverty for you.

Airbnb can't really continue to promote that property owners are safe from crazy squatter scammer/squatter types unless they have legal teams in every state and who can act swiftly.  

Rent control itself is dangerous as it promotes more government intrusion into a market that should be free.
