      Why do young people drink so much coffee and pay a fortune for it?!!!
      I never see people carry a flask but they are quite happy to buy an expensive water bottle.

    Real wealth is the ability to have more than 2 kids if desired, living on a single income, property, and the freedom of doing whatever the fuck you want and when you want.
    Medium sized business owners are the only ones I’ve seen able to do that. CEOs, doctors, small and large business owners, lawyers all lack time while everyone else lacks cash flow.
    Medium sized business owners aren’t too small where they have to do everything themselves and nor are they too big in which they have to keep reeling in investors and growing the company to stay ahead.

      Very well said - i work for two owners of a small/medium sized business and they are constantly traveling with their family, but aren’t needing to be as hands-on with the business. They’ve done this for about 10 years now

      I agree completely. My wife and I are both nurses in the US and make significantly more than Liam and his wife, but we’re facing the potential of possibly having to pay $2500 a month for child care next year due to limited availability of pre kindergarten class spots in our school district. We’re in this strange in between income in which we would lose more money if one of us worked part time. Supporting a family on a single income would be true luxury. On the upside we are financially stable enough to squeak by if we had to, which is not a level of security that everyone has

    Real experience: Buying coffee beans from the supermarket or even the artisan, single-origin, better-quality ones would cost between 5 and 10 Euros per bag. Maybe in the UK is a bit more expensive but a single, 1kg bag would make numerous cups of coffee, comparing to the 3 and 4 Euro coffee you get from Costa or other quality brands. Even if you buy the espresso machine, either a tabletop one for 300 pounds or a built-in on for 2000 pounds, you break even with your "investment" very quickly

      uk student finances is a joke generally. Paying it back early only matters if you're making so much money that it taking 4% of anything over 29k is actually starting to affect you. After 30 years or so it gets removed anyways.

      nope, a lot of people who have money do rent because it's mathematically cheaper to do so. Buying comes with a ton of hidden costs and a lot of upkeep. People think it's "buy house and you're done forever" when really you can get away with renting for a while and just wait until you find the house for you. You also have to take into account that he lives around London, why would he want to buy a house that if he went literally anywhere else would cost 1/3 if not 1/4th of the price.

      I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
      information can be a big hurdle. I've been
      making more than $200k passively by just
      investing through an advisor, and I don't have
      to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
      finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
      people who panic.

    Thanks a lot for this. The year is already coming to an end and I know a lot of people are depressed that they did not do well this year but this is Me trying to encourage you that it's not late. My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. Thanks to larysa Caba, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
