I bet the lazy fucker likes to go on vacation with his kids from time to time. Imagine complaining not to be able to afford a house while basking at the beach every summer.
my brother just took his family on week beach vacation, it cost them about $8,000. How much avocado toast is that?
if you dont’ take beach vacations for 5 years, that’s about 40K, which is enough for a down payment on a house.
Why not both? It’s too much to ask?
This has me torn. On the one hand 8k a year just to have a vacation sounds a lot. On the other hand, should we really be accepting concessions on our lives when we know the main reason we need to do monetary concessions is because the fruits of our labor get siphoned from us?
Maybe I’m just too poor to comprehend that 8k vacations should be the norm. Or maybe 8k is too much.
you should buy stock and not go on vacation and then in 10 years you can go on all the vacations you want.
delayed gratification is a hell of a way to build wealth.
So you read my comment and thought it would be good advice to tell me to do the very thing that siphons money away from the workers?
I don’t want to build wealth, I want to live a fulfilling life and I want everyone else to live a fulfilling life. My fulfillment shouldn’t come at the expense of others.
yeah, dude keep refusing to help yourself and then wonder why in 10 years you’re still struggling…
newsflash, you can’t built a fulfilling life without wealth. and you can’t build other people’s lives for them.
and guess what, your very existence comes at the expense of ever blade of grass you’ve stepped on, every chicken you ate, and etc. that’s what life itself is. your little philosophy here basically concludes with ‘kill yourself’ but that too… will come at the expense of others.
but sure, sit around and don’t invest and daydream for the next decade and in 10 years you will still have nothing.
I’d rather struggle and have empathy for my fellow worker than be like you who thinks we should be ripping off the poor people.
OK, be poor and miserable forever then. good luck with that. and blame everyone else for your own personal choices where you actively refuse to invest in yourself. sitting around feeling your feelings isn’t going to improve your life.
those of us who invested will be going on our 8K vacations and living in our houses that we own. and you can scream on the internet how we stole shit from you, or something and how we’re awful people.
