Comment on Is it better to rent a cheap/shitty place, or rent something suitable that you struggle to afford?
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 months agoAny extra money you can save (toward a 6 month safety buffer, and then investing for retirement) every single month while living within your means is typically the best option.

Investing $900 per month makes such a gigantic difference for anyone who doesn't have an unlimited budget. That's $10800 per year even before counting interest.
A shared flat is no dream situation, but this sounds like a potentially life changing difference.

Yeah that’s an insane amount of money especially if you put it all into retirement accounts. This could supercharge OP’s retirement.
