Nope. I own properties, have been investing in the market since the early 2000s, nice 401k and IRA, and investing in index funds.

its not hard. But people make it out to be. Just takes patience and compounding interest is your best friend.

This. By end of next year or early 2021 I plan to rent out my first home which is gonna be mortgage free. Then buy or get built my next home. I'm already investing. Car is paid off and in mint condition. Patience is key.

Because we were raised in a capitalist society where saving money is unthinkable. Gotta spend it all now.

Statistically, most people don't make enough money to save.

I tell myself I like being isolated, but I suppose it's just a bitter cope.

I will probably be poor forever, can barely even do a minimum wage job.

It's not enough to save money

How can it be used to ensure a good life? Don't spout that slow ass investment strategy, no one wants to make 5 bucks after 10 years of investing from your low paying job, forced to retire in your 60's and still be poor, never actually having fun, just wasting away. And not everyone has the brainpower or ability to find a niche to make good money.

Life is about luck. So many people try, and almost all will fail. If it were so easy, a lot more people would be successful.
It sounds like you just dont understand how investing works if you think you make 5 bucks after 10 years... There are janitors who made minimum wage who are millionaires and retired by 50 due to people playing their cards right...

Its sad how some people will spend hours on this site and not spend a few hours on YouTube just looking up how some of this stuff actually works.

This. Also if poor people saved a little then bought a house but rented it out to the right tenants their income would increase. Then buy a 2nd house to live in. Buy a decent used vehicle and changing the oil and brakes isn't hard. I know people who made $100K a year and had nothing to show for cause they bought a bunch of expensive toys for their kids and travelled a lot.

Also next year I could semi retire at 35 working a min wage job to just make it by with little saving but I'm pushing myself for more.

I was fortunate enough to find a house and only had to put down $2500. That was outside of inspections, the title, and repairs. It took me having to find a $20+ per hour job to be able to save while not having kids and paying half on rent. Some EMT'S that rent on their own would have a harder time affording that.

Rent a bedroom for like $700 a month if you're single. Work a labour trade job earning close to $20 hourly. Do the math. And don't buy in a big city. Buy a 2 or 3 bedroom house and rent to other roommates at the going rate. My first house I started renting eventually. You can find decent homes in the $200-300K based on where you live.

I charge my tenant living in the basement $1100 a month all inclusive. I got a roommate now for short term paying me $750 a month straight cash. I make close to $20 hourly. Not to mention I pay child support and have 50/50 custody of my kids. Yeah...it's not hard if you stick to a budget. And no I don't eat ramen noodles every night.

Had I known this in my 20s I'd probably have a 3rd house by now.

Exactly. Plus as an atheist ain't no kingdom or God at the end of the tunnel. Eventually I'll get a slightly bigger house with a 2 or 3 car garage and I'm set. I'm not looking to become a mega millionaire.

With my current single car garage house I can get another in the same price with 2 car garage and I'm set. I'd rather work hard to provide better for my kids when I get old. The basic needs are met. Everything else is to enjoy life.
