Reply to comment by Difficult_Citizen in FIL overlooking the property he just bought. New Brunswick, 1979. by Brucius704

I get all that, but I have a very average job and was able to buy property very recently, and I’m New York metro area.

That. Also the fact that I’m 34, have $5 in my wallet, zero savings, one maxed out credit card, a full time job, but just barely getting by.

You may want to think about prioritizing a few things. Or not it’s up to you.

Hey thanks. Considering I was homeless 6 months ago and suicidal, this is good to know.

If you have an average job in NYC metro and bought property in NYC metro, then there is something you're not telling us.

Nope. Saved up and bought a little house outside NYC.

Define "Outside NYC". Can I ask your job and what you paid for the property? I suppose it's possible there are a few unicorns out there, but mileage varies and for most, owning a home mostly feels un-attainable at this point and is something only boomers or rich people can do.
