The trick to not having to pay rent is to buy a house.
Then you pay mortgage instead of a rent. Plus property tax.
Rent is just paying someone else's mortgage and property taxes.
How to save for a down payment when you can't even afford rent?
Wells Fargo got you fam! PMI will only be like 10%!
Scott Morrison is that you?
Just find a job which you love and which pays a lot, problem solved!
Unironcally. I think is what to do but backwards. You should try out the paths that lead toward the best paid jobs until you find the one you like the most. People get top caught up on finding their "dream job." Your team, the company, and the culture will have a bigger impact on your mental health than the tasks anyway
I can confirm that this works. It's what I did and I'm a lot happier than when I worked a job with an average salary.
Do I even get paid for doing it? Also no.
Work culture is being tuned to the point that everyone is miserable in it except those that find the work itself to be pleasure in a "hustlegrind sigma mindset" culty way.
Beautiful servitude, how I love thee
I've saved enough to quit working, but I keep working for health insurance and the capitalist money hoarding mentality. In my mind I know I'd be happier retiring early, but my lifetime of hoarding won't allow me to endure the opportunity cost.
