I really wanna know who spread the idea that the path to wealth and leisure is by saving their wages/salary?
Like I never heard of anybody that became wealthy that way lol.
I think that was some 1950s shit that they told everybody after WW2, when wealth was redistributed by emphasizing homeowning and shit.
Then you are stuck with a mortgage and some asshole tells you, "Yeah just save your money so when you are old, you can live the good life."
So then you own your home, pay for 20 years or whatever, now you are like old as fuck, and you get a social security check and live your life the way you want to until you die?
I don't know, every time I hear someone say save your money, buy a house and get a mutual fund, and that's the way to financial freedom, leisure time and luxury, I roll my eyes.
