    Having money isn’t a good excuse to be wasteful. Why not use the last of the bottle?

    Me at 70, trying to make the child-size coffin I could barely afford for my own funeral slippery enough so I can get squeezed in later:

    The problem with this meme is the marble tile shower and nice showerhead.

        The clean joints above the showerhead and in the corner say otherwise.

        Is it that you cant afford a scrub brush to clean the shower?

      Nice showerhead? That’s the most basic showerhead in Brazil, far fromanything fancy.

        It looks like a multi spray pattern model.

        In America, the cheap ones we get look like this:

        In my horrible apartment it was just a pipe sticking out of the wall with no head. I fixed it myself but they seemed fine with it.

        I said nice, not great, not fantastic, no premium, not luxurious.

        It is nice. It is better than the typical land bastard special:

      Ive lived in some fucking disasters. Easiest cheapest thing you can do is bring your own shower head.

      Also this one, while not the absolute bottom of the barrel, isn’t good.

    You’re 25, this looks pretty standard. Majority of people don’t own(mortgage) a home until at least 35+.

    I like how OP modified meme to say 35 after it was 25 originally.

      It’s hard to get ahead when you’re barely getting by. There are many of us who have been working hard but are in much the same position at 35. I’ve edited the post accordingly.

        I don’t know many people who owned a home before 40’s at least. Including myself.

      I am almost 50, I’ve gone from owning a home to losing everything twice and starting from scratch due to medical issues, life disasters, family medical disasters and economic crashes and layoffs over and over.

      You can do everything right and still end up making no progress in life. Our world promises nothing, nothing should be expected. You will lose a lot of mental health if you can’t adapt to the idea that you may not have anything at certain ages.

      Owning a home is a massive expense and source of stress that starts falling apart the moment they hand you the key. It’s perfectly valid to not feel particularly inspired to take this kind of back-breaking responsibility on before you’re more than ready.

      Then, once you do, it’s back to the picture again.
