I truly don't understand most of you. Everyone cries about how they can never own a home, or how food prices are skyrocketting, and every time gas goes up $0.30 theres 1000 Tiktoks of people claiming they suddenly cant afford toilet paper. What the fuck are you doing?>Be me, making 65k in a shitty IT job in 2022>Bring home $1000 after tax and benefits>Married with 1 kid btw, and my wife doesnt work because there's no fucking need for it>mortgage a beautiful 4 bedroom 2 bath 12 acre 2017 built ranch home with no nieghbors>Only a 2 mile drive to work in a city of 22k people (Where there's actually MANY decent jobs)>Pay $1400 for mortgage>Our food bill has been $450 a month for years and has never budged, and our quality of meals has never dropped>Both cars are paid off, insurance for both is only $97>Utilities, trash pickup, gas, phone bill, internet, all comes out to around $800 a month>we pay about $2650 to live each month>We have about $1300 a month that doesnt even get touched, about $330 per week extra>We go out to eat, enjoy nice dates, live the life, and have never touched our savings once. >in 2025 I built an app that services 136 shops at $125 per month (Basically an ERP)>Bring home around 12k monthly after tax and growing>Food budget still $450>monthly cost of living hasnt budged at all>Still working my job for the extra 4k a monthIt seems like you faggots just like making excuses. I truly don't understand why most of you make it seem so hard. Maybe if you stopped buying $7 Starbucks drinks, $16 McDonalds Meals, $800 game consoles with $30 per month subscriptions, you'd likely be able to make it. But, you refuse to.
