    My parents once asked me why I didn’t have enough savings to buy a house yet.

    I almost lost my shit.

      ask them why didn’t they have savings to “buy a private yacht yet” at your age, because I would guess it’s roughly similar in the proportion of pay/cost

      LOL when my father asked me how much savings I had, I immediately knew that our life experiences were vastly different.

      I’m 35, and if you squint a bit at the mortgage, I “own” home. With my partner. And we’ll be paying it off for another 27 years. And we’re the lucky ones of this generation.

      Buying a home with saving, fucking lol
