RE: Spending sensibility. Do you have it?

in #life22 days ago

I get a bit frustrated when I look at forums and younger people are complaining and talking about how nothing is affordable and everything sucks and it is everyone's fault except their own. Look, I get it, becoming an adult isn't easy, it wasn't for me either, it's tough to come out from the protection of parents but at the same time a lot of these people that are screaming the loudest about how everything is unaffordable are trying to live the world's most expensive places like London, NYC, LA, Miami and they also don't skimp on certain purchases like the latest Iphone. All they do is moan about how they can't buy a house or something like that. You can buy a house, you just can't do it in one of the hottest real estate sectors of the entire world you knob-end. That was true when your parents were your age as well.

I think that the internet has kind of encouraged people to moan about something hoping for sympathy rather than being realistic and doing something about it like budgeting or moving to a more affordable part of the world - which is what I did. I make substantially less money here than I would make in Texas, but my cost of living is so much lower that I am able to put MORE money away. It's not rocket science.
