Screenshot of a LinkedIn post. I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? (The rest of the long post is blacked out until almost the end, then continues) CEO (my dad) (A bit more blacked out text follows, then ends with) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

I hope this post is. My cousin made a similar post on social media about owning a house. He was ranting that the current generation was lazy and didn't know how to budget. Everyone should easily be able to buy a house. The house he owned was bought with the money he made by selling his first house which was inherited. Some people are really just that dumb.

    I did some maths yesterday, after hearing said that wages have gone down by a third every decade since 1970... meaning (if I did the maths correctly) in this coming decade wages are less than a tenth what they were in the 1970s.

    A quick search just now suggests house prices are about 4 times more expensive in real terms over the same period.

    So that's fine. We just have to pull on our bootstraps over 40 times harder for better budgeting enough to buy a house.
