I love how the title is said as if you should be impressed at almost saving 50k with two full time jobs. That like getting paid $12 an hour at both jobs it’s basically not even worth it

What can you buy with 50k? A tiny house if you build it yourself? A nice shed? A used rv?

Exactly and I was being generous with the calculation because it’s assuming you pay 0 taxes and are a robot that doesn’t need to eat or anything.

A 1996 Dodge Caravan with 330,000 miles on it, one-wheel drive, a mostly-working AM radio, seats that smell like cigarettes and piss, and about 6.5 months' worth of rent for a storage unit space juuuuust large enough to fit the van if you pull off the side mirrors

Also they’re a millennial so like they would be 30-40 and they’ve accumulated less wealth than owning a house so they’re still way behind where the baby boomers were at when they were 27, even working 2 jobs and deciding to just not sleep.

Wholesome.
