And then they will yell at us to tell us to stop drinking coffee and save our money. Like dude , I could barely save any money with two people living In an 1800 dollar apartment with a 130k per year household income. How the hell do you expect me to buy a house? You know what? I will buy some land and build my own house so I never have to work some shitty ass corporate job until I’m 65 , if I even make it to 65. I’d rather live in my house in the country and write about how annoying you are about money

If you couldn’t save money on that salary with that rent payment then your budgeting skills are total garbage.

No me and my ex weren’t really of the saving philosophy but would rather enjoy the days we know we are going to be living, young, and healthy. So we traveled a lot. I’ve been to just about every state and 8 countries. We smoked and drank a lot along with a lot of other party favors, and we liked an expensive dinner every now and then.
Living like that off of two 60k a year salaries in Boston and you really aren’t ever going to save money. You could live like a hermit, eat ramen and maybe save 1k , I’ve lived like this since and it was not that hard for me, but definitely would be hard for my ex. Never ever move into a house that is heated with oil too. So fucking expensive
