I bought my first house at 30 how tf am i supposed to also have had enough money to have a whole years worth of pay saved. This may have been great advice 10 years ago, and is probably still great today, but seems unreachable for a significant number of people.
The house is a form of saving and investment, the value of that minus the debt would count for these numbers.
How?? You didn't just take a nickel from the couch cushions and pay for an entire semester of college right before driving your $500 dollar NEW luxury vehicle to buy your 3rd house for 10k?
Kids are so lazy these days
Seriously... I have a coworker like this. He's in his 60s and talks about the numerous properties he owns and rents that he bought decades ago and asks me why I don't do it...
Motherfucker we're underpaid factory workers, how the fuck am I supposed to get $500k and who the hell is going to rent that house at the price I'd have to set for rent? Just because you got your houses for ~90k back then doesn't mean I can now...
It's insane. I have clients all the time tell me "oh you should travel more" yeah I'll get right fuckin on that
