Are drivers spending over 1/2 their income on rent/mortgage & utilities?

You work so many hours. Yes you need to “budget” and eat out less but are you bogged down?

Fake news. Most of us paid cash for our current home and have side income.

Foolish to live beyond your means. Work hard and enjoy the benefits.

Don’t be a doosh. Most of us? You *?
Nope not *. Been called special a few times. Appreciate your honesty.
Been here 35 years now and most of the people I work with sold their first homes and used the proceeds to pay for their next home or leveraged their investment properties to pay cash for their home.

You sound like you’re doing pretty well yourself. I know it’s not cheap living down there in paradise. I probably shouldn’t assume what others are doing.
Reading most of these posts it sounds like the majority on this site are rolling and not hurting.

Not even a comparison. I was comparing five years ago to now.
The twenty somethings and thirty year old guys sold their starter homes and paid cash for their new home.

I’m getting an education. Didn’t realize the markets were so extreme in this country. All I know is if you bought a home five years ago it’s worth double now

I bought twenty years ago. Remember in the early 2000’s it was a different time. Now you should buy property with mineral rights or the option to subdivide. Remember no matter where you live there is a housing crisis.

I cant answer for everyone but I know you will never lose in buying property.

Property yes, a home no. When the standard deduction allowed many more write offs, home ownership was a means to build wealth. Now, home ownership doesn't provide the tax incentives necessary to take that leap.
