      Because that’s exactly what makes owning a home impossible instead of simply unrealistically difficult? Our system may be trash, but that attitude is just shooting yourself in the foot while you give everything you have to Papa Bezos.

        Homes are selling for over half a million in my city.

        Oh we can save some time. No, I am not moving out two or more hours away from work to be able to afford a home. Yes, I am aware that smaller starter homes are a thing. No, I am not going to bother every relative I have for money. And yes I enjoy avocado toast

      Because that’s exactly how you never get a home. Stupid everyday splurges are the thing avocado toast tropes are really talking about. Money adds up…so yes if you buy red bottomed shoes or nice cars you won’t be able to afford a house.

      If you’re not getting paid enough to buy a home then you need to improve your skill set and or change jobs. That’s how successful people make it work. Anything else is on you.
