Same here. Went to trade school, working at construction since I was 21, bought my first car around the same time, bought house at 25. Now at 30+ I got like 80k€ left on my mortage and no other loans. Around +50k€ in savings mostly invested into index funds. I could be doing better but I can’t complain. Recently started my own bussines so we’ll see how that goes.
My only friend I keep hearing the type of complaints from that I read about on lemmy every day went to photography school but is an aspiring painter/artist now instead. For some reason money’s tight and it’s because of capitalism apparently. Go figure…
Here’s your big trick. I used it too, the whole “buy a house when the market was affordable” method is nice, but to replicate when you were spent the last housing crash learning to write instead of earning money…
I got mine at a little bit of a deal at the time at $75k in… 2016?, if only I had bought it in 1990 when I was 3 but it would have sold for $15k or some shit.

“Because I don’t experience a thing personally (or just have head up rectum), everyone who does is a liar!” 🙄
Not even remotely accurate interpretation of what I said.
