It is impossible to save money when the property taxes alone on a house, or your rental, are more than what I was paying in rent 20 years ago.
It’s impossible to save money when it costs so much for big screen tv’s, gym memberships, iPhones, car payments, weekends at the beach and manicures.

My house is paid off. The cost of insurance and property taxes are more than my payment was.
Interesting all 4 of mine are in their own homes. All bought before age 27. One bought at 21. Oldest is now 37. Youngest is 28.
Honesty, integrity and good character are the downfall of the younger generations.
The politicians have decided to legalize narcotics, and it has been a total disaster for the young folk...

You weren’t paid as much as well.
When I started my career, college educated, two degrees, I made $15,000/year. It takes a few years to build your career and a nest egg. Instant brats have to save and wait.

These pinheads spend over $1,400 a month on DoorDash, getting their food delivered.
I can relate to that. I bought my home back in about ‘77,a far cry from what things cost now. It was paid for some time ago. I house a young relative presently for no rent payment. No meals or anything like that are provided. His parents said there was no room available at their house. It is just the two of us, but I don’t think he will ever be able to afford living on his own unless he could get into an arrangement where it was provided as part of the job. He was recently discharged from the military. Should have stayed in, I guess, as there are some problems with him living here, rent free with me.
The presented article was very good; seemed to present a real head-on approach to a big problem nowadays.
