I bet the lazy fucker likes to go on vacation with his kids from time to time. Imagine complaining not to be able to afford a house while basking at the beach every summer.
my brother just took his family on week beach vacation, it cost them about $8,000. How much avocado toast is that?
if you dont' take beach vacations for 5 years, that's about 40K, which is enough for a down payment on a house.
Why not both? It's too much to ask?
This has me torn. On the one hand 8k a year just to have a vacation sounds a lot. On the other hand, should we really be accepting concessions on our lives when we know the main reason we need to do monetary concessions is because the fruits of our labor get siphoned from us?
Maybe I'm just too poor to comprehend that 8k vacations should be the norm. Or maybe 8k is too much.
