Anyone in their 20's have a good full time job?

Thanks guys for the replies.

From what I can gather from the majority of the posts, most people in their 20's cannot afford a house in our country's current state.

What I have noticed is a lot of people are renting houses or part of the house in their 20s. It got me thinking, so then who owns these houses?

Well I went to one of my friends moms houses and she told me straight up that she owns multiple houses on the street. Rents the upstairs and the basement to two separate couples and they pay the mortgage for her and a little extra cash on top.

Now I started to think that is great idea for her at her age and for retirement, but then again it keeps house sale prices high so us 20s cant afford a home to begin with.

I dont know, I guess I just feel like our generation is going to be very unprepared for retirement.

depends on what you want to do...

i am 21 now actually and the past 2 years i have saved $44,000 working 2 full times. i rent a room for cheap as fuck. i make my own food. i don't go out to spend money unless it's for food. i don't even own a cell phone. i have an ipod touch which i use the app called "texfree" which gives you a free phone number and texting unlimited with free calls to you and you can get minutes by watching advertisements. i don't really have much of a life right now. but i figure fuck it, i am 21 years old and if i want to be lounging(a little more) when i am 25 years old, i better fucking start now.

now i could've not smoked weed that entire time; but i did. which i sort of regret in a way. my girlfriend's dad at the time when i was age 19 gave me the opportunity to work at the mines but they hair follicle test so i pretty much fucked myself. the job at the mines paid $60,000 to start. i was pretty bummed out for that. i would own a house by now if i had that job. well i have been clean for 2 1/2 months now and my goal is to get a job either drilling or mining. i know it's not really the most ideal job and it's hard work, but i wouldn't be working there for too long. maybe 4 years maximum, save up as much as i can. buy a home, start a business hopefully. or buy 2 homes rent one, and live in one. i don't know man life's a toss up right now. i try not to worry about it so much right now; but god damn life is hard at this moment. i just want to live relaxed. stress free; but when you are working 16 hours a day... my life is filled with it. i don't have time for friends or anything. it's pathetic. that's the sacrifice i have made just to better my future. no girlfriend; i just want to do me right now. i've always thought about 2 is better than 1 but i don't know, solo dolo seems good to me right now til i at least buy a house.

i'm 25 and working toward a house...i want a cheap, $60,000 house....got a third of that in the bank, but haven't worked (by CHOICE) in the last 2 months


I worked on a drilling rig in the oilfield and am relocating in 2 weeks to another part of the country to do the same kinda work
 
ill pay for my house in cash when i get there. i refuse to support banks (currency is fraud...banks are COMPLETE fraud and i will not support by getting a loan)

=)


did it break off your face because thats unbelievably steep...

essentially ya.. i broke it in 3 places knocked 3 teeth out and almost bit my tongue off.. and had to have 2 surgeries to fix it (jaw both condyles AND my chin).. on at uc davis and one at french hospital with a specialist... broke my collar bone too.

letting them hold and trade the 30k you have is supporting them... they care less bout the interest on a small loan (theyll get bailed out by the fed) ... they want to hold your money so they can trade with it... =)


but agreed the best place to keep money is a bank.. or a shoebox.
