How thoughtful of you. About 100 million homeowners should lose their shirts just so you can get a house without some sacrifice.
Ah, yes, I should sacrifice.
First off, I should quit paying rent on the apartment. I won't need it - I'll be buying a house!
Secondly, I guess I could stand to lose a few pounds, so, I can quit buying food.
Thirdly, since I'll be spending all my time at my workplace while I'm saving, I won't need to pay car payments.
I can't get out of paying off grad school loans. I spent years in filthy, substandard student housing while getting an education.
You know what? Even if I saved every penny I earn after taxes, it'll still take me about two years to save k$30.
Sacrifice? Hah. The young are priced right out of owning a home. It's now only for the elderly, or the inherited wealthy, or the dot.com scammers. You know why there aren't many stay-at-home parents? Because if one stayed at home, that home would be a cardboard box beside the freeway!
