    And how old are you, what is your socio-economic background lol? It’s kind of relevant if youre arguing the meme.

    You could have almost all these things with minimum wage back in the days of this meme. Today min wage barely gets you a roof and a bus pass.

      I’m almost 40 and on the verge of buying my first house. Most of it has to do with moving to Europe and funding works a bit different here.

      That’s what I’m saying, I’m 32. Idk people keep saying they can’t afford afford a house, it’s called priorities. Most kids want a nice car before getting a house.

        True. I want a nice car before getting a house. How the fuck else will I get to my job to pay for my car and house? And by “nice” I mean “won’t break down on the way to my job.” very few of my friends have ever bought a new car.

          I have an 06 tacoma with over 430k miles still running great, and my wife and I got a new 2020 camry that year. It’s doable just prioritize.

          I’m lower to middle class, married, have a kid now. I’m a vet tech, so I don’t make much money
