Somehow this has made me realize the big lifestyle gap between me and everyone I know versus the people writing what I read around here. Me and virtually everyone I know live that way, but instead of retired at 30 we are hustling and struggling at 30. Sure, hipsters on food coupons, you can laugh all you want, but no future all the same. Wish we could be on that path, but it's too late, we made the wrong decisions, we are forced to thrift like everyone else now.
