It's your fault you didn't buy real estate to live in while it was cheap back when you were 3 years old.

DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR POOR CHOICES
You went into stem? You studied... computer science?? And you expect to be employable with that skillset???
She bought avocado toast!
*crowd gasps*
She partook of the forbidden fruit!
*loud outraged murmuring*
And now she wants to have... A HOUSE!
*the crowd reaches a crescendo, screams are heard, a man falls to the ground, froth spilling from his mouth*
"does she really think she could handle that responsibility??"
Also: It's not my fault you were born to poor parents
Actually, yes it is (according to capitalism). 😭
Broke ass toddlers should have pulled themselves up by their nappies.
My grandma once told me "everyone wishes they could have bought a house for the price their parents did." Which, yeah, inflation's a thing, but housing is not supposed to be an appreciating investment vehicle.
My bad for not also investing in Bitcoin while being potty trained. I've wasted my potential.
I used to beat myself up a little for dismissing bitcoin early on and therefore missing a chance at being rich. But then I realized that it was like beating myself up for not winning the lottery just because I know now what last week's winning numbers were. I would have had to dedicate time, effort and money I couldn't easily spare into chasing an irrational long shot.
Plus, odds are I would have sold it all the minute it was worth a little, which would be much worse. Or that someone would steal it all, as happened to a lot of people early on.
Or you could be me, and invest when it was gaining a lot of traction. Make a SUPER SECURE password, and write it down where nobody will ever find it. The forget where it is and lose it all and know theres more money than you've ever had before that should be yours and just isnt.
The interest rate on a mortgage when I was 3 was literally 16%. Glad thats over... course the price of the house just went up to make up the difference.
Oh it more than made up the difference.
