Any millennials who have successfully bought their own house and car?

I'm so sick of living with my parents. I've literally only been back to living with them for 6 weeks and I've had enough.
I've been taking cabs everywhere I need to go and it's such a headache (we don't have a structured public transport system here, and some of the options we do have just have mostly creepy men so I wouldn't take the chance)

So I asked my parents for the car today because I need to run some errands that require multiple stops and it's so so so hot and humid to take a cab today (their air conditioning is mostly broken because the cab drivers cannot afford to get their cars fixed) but my mom has to be mean to me.

She loves the cars more than she loves her daughter. She asked me to "take my sister along with me", my sister, who is the ugliest, meanest, and a disgustingly narc creature. I told her I won't have her tagging along my a.rse. But my mother said that she doesn't "trust me with the navigation" and I know that's code word for "I don't trust that you're going to run errands, you're probably going for a date" and of course me finding love would be the last thing that would sit well with that woman, as she has expressed before, given that she had a car crash of a marriage. That being said, no, I'm extremely single, and not looking to date anyway. So she is winning in that department anyway.

Talking about car crashes: so I DID proceed to remind her of how her GOLDEN CHILD crashed our family's most expensive car (right into another one because she is a horrible driver who speeds), just after a few times that she was trusted with it.

Yeah, somehow this golden child is responsible for making sure I drive safe. 🤡

Love truly is blind.

I did live with my buddies for 4 years too. We rented a house for 1250 and split it 3 ways.

@DeadOrbit definitely not normal to make your blood relations pay rent. Anyway I'm unemployed at the moment.

I hope I don't have to depend on them for too long.
@turningthekeys its nice you have that net though

Idk, my parents bought my brother an apartment and he's been using their old car for years now. 🤷🏻‍♀ I guess this is how many millenials function.

@CrazyMusicLover true. You must win your parents' love to survive. If you are the unfortunate scapegoat in the family dynamics, it's either you die hungry and poor, or somehow become a millionaire and move out.

So because she had a bad marriage thats why she wont let you marry to the person you actually love? What a weird thinking. Marrying someone you actually love is the first step to have successfull married life.
I mean i don't have a family so i dunno about that dynamic but yes i own my house and 2 cars.

@DeadOrbit how, do I start investing?
@turningthekeys i dunno i kind of just kept trading up. First car was 5000 and paid it off. Used that to buy one for 14000 and paid it off. Just kept going and working and making good decisions with my money. I dont drink, i don't smoke, i don't party. Id typically have about 14,000 saved out of my check each year.

@DeadOrbit I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't party. My rent was 1200 euro/month. I had do groceries and pay for courses. I worked really hard at my job. And I've worked really hard academically to be where I am. Tax was 40%. Sometimes 50%.

I did have to pay for cabs because there was no direct bus route from my place to my workplace.

I travel once a year.

I think I just need some patience. I'm just bummed that I'm 33 and this is the state of my life despite fighting so hard.
