Dude reasoned as if he owns his life and knows when he will die. Funny enough, he could die tomorrow and in the end die as a poor man without enjoying his wealth. No one is saying you should buy liabilities, but buy the basic things that will make your life easy and not investing forever. If I may ask, when exactly was he expecting to own a car and house. When he is 100% comfortable? Will such a time ever come?
I do wish dude could read through this thread and have a second thought.
Exactly. None of us knows what is coming. I think each one of us has probably a different view of what "wealth" actually means. For some of us, its just pile of money and "freedom of choice", for others its just a stable life and being able to provide themselves and their families with the basic necessities. However, I dont think any of us have the right to think we can judge other peoples decisions if their choices do not affect us at all. The entire argument is ridiculous, because it is based on an assumption. OP doesnt understand that my choices are my freedom.
