Comment on What advice would you give to your younger self?

Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.

Also college is a waste, don’t do it.

  All debt is bad, it is better to not own a house than to pay a mortgage levels of all debt is bad.
  
  The only way you’re not going to be working a minimum wage job is if you have a college degree.

    Having been laid off, I’m glad I never had a mortgage.
    
    My Uni degree probably helped, but its probably a good idea not to go into debt for it.
