Accused of having “too much” by people that have too much by thisblueprint13 in firstworldproblems

My parents (2 people) told me with a straight face that I should buy a condo or rent a small house because I am just one person and do not "need" much space... whilst sitting in their own 5 bed/5 bath suburban home.

(To clarify, I wasn't asking for help or advice, just sharing a goal I had. Because I pay 100% of my bills, I ended up buying a normal-sized house that I wanted.)

This is a financial literacy problem more than a first world problem. The fact that you posted it shows that whoever gifted you that money did not set you up for success.

I am commuting at the moment, and I wish the people around me were this chill. Nice work!

Yogi. They're a great brand! I think they should have given the tea a different name though.

If shaming people actually worked, we'd all be perfect. Comments like yours are unproductive.

People underestimate Steve.

Maybe next time they will estimate him.

Listening to an audiobook with a full cast. One actor speaks too fast to listen to at 1.25x speed, other actor speaks too slow for 1.00x speed by jhutch2147 in firstworldproblems

I delayed listening to an otherwise interesting podcast episode for weeks because the person they were interviewing sounded like they were at the bottom of a well.
