I don’t blame them. There’s entire industries devoted to getting people to impulse buy. Almost $300 billion a year to convince us to buy things we otherwise wouldn’t. And that’s just for advertising alone.
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.
My landlord inherited 17 houses and hasn’t worked a day in his life.
Do yourself a favor one day. Go leave the Western world. Go see how 7/8ths of the human race lives. Then tell me that the people there aren’t just as resourceful, as hard working, as clever, as disciplined as anyone you have known in the developed world.
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
Impulsive spending has always been a problem for some people. It’s nothing new.
I don’t blame them. There’s entire industries devoted to getting people to impulse buy. Almost $300 billion a year to convince us to buy things we otherwise wouldn’t. And that’s just for advertising alone.
I also don’t blame them because sometimes that’s the only real dopamine hit they get from their entire month’s paycheck… and that’s wildly depressing.
Lol this is such a joke. No one needs a dopamine hit from retail therapy.
The problem here is that people still think you do.
There are so many ways to feel fulfilled and happy without buying plastic shit you don’t need.
When you know buying your own home is impossible, why not use credit card to buy stuff that might give you dopamine hit, like shoes or clothes?
