    Because that’s exactly how you never get a home. Stupid everyday splurges are the thing avocado toast tropes are really talking about. Money adds up…so yes if you buy red bottomed shoes or nice cars you won’t be able to afford a house.

    If you’re not getting paid enough to buy a home then you need to improve your skill set and or change jobs. That’s how successful people make it work. Anything else is on you.

      My landlord inherited 17 houses and hasn’t worked a day in his life.

      Do yourself a favor one day. Go leave the Western world. Go see how 7/8ths of the human race lives. Then tell me that the people there aren’t just as resourceful, as hard working, as clever, as disciplined as anyone you have known in the developed world.
