Feel like this is a good post for this sub. I recently did the math for how long it would take me to save for half of a down payment on a house (assuming I live with my parents, which I dont, and my partner also saves, we have no emergencies, stay employed, no kids, no broke down car). It would take a decade at my current salary!
So I'm like … owning a house is not possible for me (before 40!). I just dont see the point in amassing any savings at this point, at least not anything over $10K. Its like asking me to wish on a star everyday. My question for this sub is what do I do with the money? I make $55k right now; I have spending monies but not spending money (yall know what rent is like). Would you keep saving after $10k? After $15k? What would you do with it? What am I saving for? What is the point?
