    How much Starbucks do these rich assholes drink to think stopping that purchase would get me my own home?

      To be fair…back in the 90’s, all you had to do to afford a mortgage was to stop drinking Starbucks.

      Giving rich assholes more credit than they deserve: this advice is from the 90s. Boomers had to tighten their belts, pick up extra shifts, and scrimp and save to get a down payment for a “starter home”. If someone one is a fucking idiot who doesn’t understand anything about the economy for the last 30 years, they tell their kids and grandkids to do what they did…there’s no such thing as a systemic issue, all you need is grit and give the manager a handshake yadda yadda yadda.

      there are actually people who get it more than once every day on average, literally a hundreds of dollars a month expense

      and the fucking dumbest part of it is that that’s still not enough to put a dent in a downpayment
