And if you die today and the you of tomorrow never exists? Would really suck if instead of enjoying your money you saved it all but then died before you got a chance to use it! |
If I die today my wife and son will at least not go famine while they reestablish themselves. I live good and comfortable, enjoy the today, but care about tomorrow.
Soundwave said: You could say the same about video games. They are a waste of money in this context, especially at $300 a pop for the console + $60 a game. Guess millennial/young people shouldn't buy those, that's a lot more expensive than avocados, lol. I wouldn't buy a home if I were in the position of a millennial. Find a reasonable place to rent and make sure you put aside your savings into a index stock fund with low management fees and build a savings pool that way. Don't dump it into a mortgage. |
Buying a console every 5 years and 3 games a year would cost you let's say 400+5*3*60 = 1300 USD, eating avocados+drinking starbucks and the like will be 15 bucks a day or =15*365*5 = 27k... yes I think the gaming isn't that expensive in comparison.

Yeah, I'm probably a bit clueless when it comes to "normal" struggles, but regarding having someone to deal with stuff... it's not like I don't want to do anything, but rather have the option to have it done when it's needeed. ^^ Don't worry about the apartment. I live in Rio, the lowest temperature I've experienced here was about 12° and where I'm moving to is not that different. Btw, congrats on the trips and savings! It's really nice to get to know new places/cultures. |
Well in Rio 12 Celsius or 54 Fahrenheit is almost public emergency situation =p

Wow only $350K? They’d kill for housing that cheap in Melbourne. |
At the same time the minimum wage in the country was about 500/month, that is not even near cheap in Brazil... also with 10% interest a year you'll pay over 1M in 30 years.
