Augusti?

Once Marigold saw the solid gold sex futon, she knew she couldn't go back to a life without one.
Note that Marigold too finds this to be a very walkable town.
Don't forget the sonic shaped swimming pool
Makes more sense then buying a boat.
Whatever happened to Steve's drunk boat purchase?

I honestly didn't get the joke at first, because I have so little interest in owning real estate that "We need a house to look cool" just made no sense to me. It reads as "Let's take on a full-time second job to, um, say we have a house!"
There's also a good dose of "I need be a grownup"
Cue Hannelore buying a street just to keep all her friends together :P
She has fantasized about them all living in a mansion, with her as the reclusive mistress of the house communicating only through notes passed from her private wing.
At least she can afford to buy a house. Then again, I’m sure they could also rent a house.
(repetition): "Poor Dale" (Grumble - I would think some sort of personal contract you get scribed first,.... followed by a ceremony, and some alone time before you just buy a home out of pocket. - yes, I remain stick in the mud old school/old fashioned.)
Just pull a scam where Marigold pretends Emily's parents' lake house is hers. Without actually telling Emily or her parents...
She might be able to finish her Final Fantasy VI playthrough if she did that
Eh… this tracks. Really is as good a reason as any. Especially if she can afford it. Although now she might have to play the “prove to people how you got this money” game… unless she just pays cash that is.
Didn't Jeph do a comic about having a problem with setting up a business account for QC?
Everybody moving on with their life except Marten.
Who?
May... we're gonna need a LOT more spreadsheets
I'm sure May will get right on that.
It definitely seem Slime she can afford it. And if you can afford to buy a house, in most cases you should.
“Why?” “BECAUSE COOKIES”
You know your comic has been around for a long time when the comment section is full of people discussing the financial wisdom of home ownership
Truth.
So when does Chekhov's skunk show up?
Chekhov's skunk appeared long ago, but he might come back? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4232
Depending on the market she might be able to pay cash. BTW, fixed rate motgages are still a thing.
i know the housing market is awful right now (maybe less so in QCland (pronounced like New Zealand) but isn't Marigold making buckets of money from her streams? enough to presumably afford a small house in a college town?
Marigold needs a house because she wants to avoid Skunks, you see. ;)
My closest encounter with a skunk was when I was working in my house's garage workshop (with the door open), I heard a noise and looked up to see a skunk ducking under the car. I quietly went out the back door...

Honestly a house is a pretty good investment given the kind of money Marigold is implied to be making. if you put a sizable downpayment the mortgage might be less than rent, plus now it's locked in for 30 years (unlike my rent that doubled over 8 years).
Most mortgages are variable interest rate, so payments can go up or down as rates change.
So my guess is that Marigold gets talked out of this (by May). I hope so, anyway. Take it slow, Marigold! Build up that three-to-six-month rainy-day fund first! Your new success is great but I'm not sure you're ready to deal with a mortgage yet.
Based on what Jeph stated, her subscriber counts were around 40k. Marigold makes something like 80-100k a month assuming similar payout to Twitch. She can afford a house I would hope.
I have totally had this moment.
Why are they called apartments if they’re all stuck together?
Oh Marigold. Welcome to hell. (I say this as someone who previously owned a house and is currently buying an apartment. Or trying to, anyway.)
"We"? Splitting rent on an apartment is one thing, joint ownership of a house is quite another. 30 year mortgage and all that...
Given how much she's making, I doubt it will be a problem
I was looking at buying a house till the prices went through the roof. For the time being, my apartment is shit, but it's affordable.
Does May get her own room? What does she decorate with?
May gets the toilet, obviously...
Nevermind 11, that went to 20 real bloody fast.
In b4 Dale talks her down from her knee-jerk "I need a house for REASONS", but then they have a rational conversation that leads to a house purchase anyway.
Meanwhile Pintsize is busily writing several Toiletmorph sequels.
It's a good thing Marigold is rich so she can Afford a house...
she could buy the whole thing upfront! mortgage shmortgage!
Hey, good news, they can probably afford a house in Noho with streamer money 😂
Good thing Mar has now evolved into a gold shitting goose. Speaking of, they could probably ask the manager to look for a nice place!
They could rent a house. But really, I doubt that Aurelia would think any less of Marigold for living in an apartment.
Yeah, but the thing is, Marigold would when she had Aurelia over to visit.
I got a house because I was sick of being overcharged to rent. 🤷♀️
We got a house bc Spouse's parents were finally selling theirs after bugging us to move in for a while and pay rent rather than keep renting from apartments with unprofessional service (lost rent checks we put IN THEIR DROP BOX)
I'm still not used to this early posting.
I love the early posting! It's a great pickme up while working
Who among us did not get their first house in that same manner? (Actually never bought a house…)
Sort of, yeah...
And that's how Pintsize ended up in six pieces at the bottom of a TikTok mansion pool
Filled with Jello of course.
LOL not what I expected
Hahahahahahahahaha Marigold is such a mood lmao
Ah Marigold, your thought processes are as chaotic as a bag of snakes. I truly relate.
Why would you have a bag of snakes?!
Well, at least they're not in San Diego.
May Marigold’s house include a swimming pool filled with the cash this night’s co-stream with Aurelia has netted her.
And it's definitely NOT Sonic-shaped. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4517
"Uh babe, we could just show her the apartme-" " NO DALE, A 2 BEDROOM, AND A DOG FOR COSMO TO PLAY WITH"
I was thinking greyhound? Pointy like Cosmo but notoriously lazy
