I have lived in an economic resession for most of my life, my first job I was able to get during the 2008 recession by pure luck. All my life has been in hard mode, I don't drink, smoke, do drugs of any kind, I don't even drink coffee. Worked and studied all my life until I graduated with a Batchelor of Science and I have never stopped working or saving money, and I still can't afford a home.
@37712 If you would have made 40% extra net money over those years, would the situation be different?
