I've never even had a credit card. EVER. They just always seemed like scams to me.
As a friend I want to keep her around forever. Past trauma has affected both of us deeply. Romantic relationships are especially tough for both of us, tbh.
I see this kind of behavior with my generation alot too. I'm very disappointed in them. Mainly the men, tbh. 🤔 From what I've observed, the men seem more likely to live with their parents into their thirties compared to the women. I've seen so many men my age who drive around brand new Audi SUVs and pickup trucks, and motorcycles, and I can't help but think "Bruh, you're a personal trainer who has only two clients! How are you paying for all this?!" 🤣
Lol. I'm asking you if you think it would be a good idea to ask her to move in. That way she won't have to pay over 2k a month in rent. But, I just don't know how that would affect us since we're dating.
Lol. What part confused ya?
Are they being serious?! 🤣🤨
This is what I meant, though. I should have clarified more. I'm aware that salaries have done a fairly good job with increase. But, my issue is the skyrocketing living costs outpacing the salaries boosts. Even if you make a low six-figure salary nowadays, there's a good chance you'll still struggle.

It's a bit different for me. I live in a middle-class neighborhood. But, people are always baffled by how I have my own property and everything.
Let me list the reasons:
1. I already had a six figure income for a short time (a little over two years) during the COVID lockdown.
2. Stocks crashed. So, I started trading and doing some short term investing.
3. Multiplied everything. Wasn't easy but it worked. 🤷♂️
4. Threw 90% into Bitcoin. Been sitting on it ever since.
5. The friend I'm dating has also started buying BTC lately. Although, knowhere near as much as me. But, it's a start and I'm happy for her.
6. She does make a six figure salary and lives alone like me.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Not to mention that they were also thrown into an era of sky high tax rates, food prices, housing prices etc.
