The best financial decision you can make is not having kids 😁

@Elessar And yet another failure to understand when someone is making fun of you. As I've said before, you're either extremely narcissistic or you've got a really horrible case of autism.
I didn't bother addressing the other things you mentioned because they're really stupid points considering other stages of our history where it has been much worse for humanity. Also it would just invite you to bore everyone even more than you already do and that's not fair on the people of this site ❤️

@SW-User Projection is always strong with you guys. In my area at least, when you "make fun" of someone, as the expression suggests, you want to at least try to sound "fun".
This diagnosis coming from your PhD in psychology at the university of Facebook? I'll tell you, if you picked allergology instead of psychology you'd see it's a manifestation of my allergy to your bullsh*t.
Ah yeah, GW is so much or a stupid point that the scientific *consensus* is that it needs to be urgently addressed (and is probably irreversible already to some degree); shortages and economic recession probably don't hit you personally too much because maybe your family provides, but over here it's definitely noticeable. Living in south Europe, the impact of mass migration caused from the escape from literal starvation is something that tends to be felt too. And similarly, Russia's effect on the economy and world stability are perceptible pretty much everywhere, again, so long as someone doesn't live in bubble wrap and may soon experience a rude awakening.

26, has no car, live with parent and siblings, working part-time.
I'm not sure to say independent. More like my family dependent on me. They never let me move out. 🤷🏻♀️

They are.
I've two "kids".
One is mid 20s, owns their house with their partner (well they own two bricks and are slowly buying it back grom the bank). They have a car but quiet old, nearly 20 years and it spe d a lot of time off the road. They rely on the train to get to work which is reasonably paid but public sector so less than a similar role in private sector would pay.
My other "kid" is early 30s, rents a flat in London (they'll never afford a mortgage there a 3 bed terrace house in their road is £1.25million currently), owns a 5 year old car has a good paying job having left public sector last year as got married earlier this year and would like to buy a property.

The brilliant economist, Thomas Sowell had four rules to never be poor. More was required to become rich but to avoid being poor he suggested,
1) Finish high school
2) Get and hold a full-time job
3) Never reproduce outside of marriage
4) Avoid alcohol and drugs.
An obvious addition would be to stay out of the criminal justice system.

@redredred The problem of that rules that:
1. Not everyone finished high school.
2. Not all opportunity is there.
3. Well... People made mistakes. Human error, I'd say... But I agree with this too.
4. Yes. I agree. But like number 3..
Basically, it depends on how the person was raised and the environment they were lived and how their manage their life.
And yes... Hypothetically speaking, let say are all humans live according to what their plan?
Do their plan always worked out?
Do you never made mistake for your whole life?
The issue is not everyone live in the same situation.

No one on sw will buy me a house. 😤

I tried to buy you a house but you wouldn't allow me to hide in the false ceiling@Nadie
Longleggedlady · 31-35, F
My husband and I own our house outright in Surrey he is 47 and I am 32 both of us are retired now and currently travelling
But technically the house is actually a charitable trust that lets us live there

Big difference between 20's and 30's. I bought a unit when I was 19 and still at University. However the equity I had in the unit came from an inheritance. Sold that long ago. Now in my thirties and own my house outright.
PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M
28 years old. No job because of a physical disability. I live with my parents and siblings but that's the normal in this culture like males or females only move out if they get married or get a job in another area etc. I would definitely like to move out but I don't have that kind of independence again thanks to my health it's a loop.
I am trying to find opportunities to work online and I keep learning new skills so I guess it can be a bit better. I would really like to help my family financially.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether i had my own place but didnt want to be stuck paying rent on a place that would never be mine plus it was about to go up 600 on my next lease. Came back to help out family. Technically just my brother living in our family home. Id be fine with it if our house wasnt falling apart
CoCoPuffs · 26-30, F
I dont think life is supposed to be that linear...right?
There's people who were mature, or thought they were, and had those things by 25 then lost it before 35.
There's late bloomers that are downhill in their 30s but finally got it together.
There's people in both brackets and are comfortable in their own skin and doing alright wherever they are.
It's all subjective! Not to leave out the silver foxes and cougar mamas in their 40+ 😂

ArminArlert · 22-25, M
No to every single one except the car. I work as an artist sometimes, so I have some rent money for my parents.
I agree this has become common in our age group and I don't think it's because we are "lazy."
I worry for my little brother because he is on the spectrum with OCD and social anxiety. Things are going to be tough for him and they already are. 😔

In my 20's I had all that except independence. I was trapped in an unhealthy marriage.
Now that I'm 37, I have an apartment, a car, a bus (rv), a decent paying job, my kids 87% of the time, my freedom and I'm independent.
I am much happier not walking on eggshells, but really miss having my own home and land.

@ShadowWolf i myself might be considered damaged goods but im trying to fix that
LoneWolfe · 26-30, M
@ShadowWolf It's absolutely mind-blowing how many more red flags are being considered normal. I find many adults to be lacking in maturity, accountability, and responsibility. Entitlement is the worst. The headache isn't worth it right now. I wish you well with you current relationship.
ShadowWolf · 31-35, M
@LoneWolfe I agree. I've found the age group of 23-26 to be far more mature and ready for commitment. The irony. Thank you!

None of that. I'm only now in late 20s trying to get my driver's licence.
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover guessing affording a car was not possible for a long time
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@JestAJester Not really, I've lived in a city with good public transport options so I never really needed a car. I struggled with the fear of driving for a long time as well.

@CrazyMusicLover thats not bad. Allows you to put that money elsewhere
