when I was 18 I was homeless, my parents sold the house out from under me and moved to the US Embassy compound housing in Nairobi.
I lived in mrs slumlord’s bedroom and we got married. Then moved upstairs into their attic like Anne Frank
I had 2 jobs, she had 2 jobs, we had a side hustle killing roaches in ghetto apt buildings and restaurants. I took on an additional side hustle working for real estate companies doing rental maintenance, repairs, chit work small jobs. She got a real estate affiliate broker license at 21, we bought our first rental house at age 20. We were also both going to the state university at night. Weren’t no online classes then.
Oh also, we started building our own house with physical help from her uncles, paid cash as we went, built in two years in ‘spare free time’ at age 22
You can actually work 18-20 hours a day when youre young. Easily.
I have zero sympathy for younger people today whining about society not treating them fairly.
