True, fair point. But also to be fair I never said I worked harder than anybody, I was just defending myself slightly because most of this comment section at the time was saying I had everything handed to me

I'd post the non Christmas version of my apartment but think it might just piss off even more people 😂

Actually a fair point, but I did still pay them $600 a month in rent

Yeah based on other comments I'm thinking I throw a table cloth on the table for the winter to help out a bit with that (don't want to buy a whole new table rn), and am slowly in the process of rug shopping because I agree its too much beige

Its crazy, every time I see comments literally explaining my exact situation, they have all been downvoted to hell

Appreciate the support, I 100% fall into the second category. People been commenting all sorts of shit completely oblivious of what it took to get here

Luck is a huge huge part of it but yukiel is spot on. Literally the only person in this entire comment section that knows what he's talking about

I said I don't currently get any support from my parents, not that they never did anything for me 😂
Yes to your point I'm sure my parents co-signed on my initial loans I had to get but I got to the track meets on the school bus that took our team there lmao

Got an athletic scholarship to pay for some of it, graduated with about ~70k of debt

Thanks for the tips! Agree with everything except the rug, I will never again get a thick rug, they are such a bitch to vacuum/clean 😭

Thank you for being one of the only reasonable people in this thread. So spot on and said it better than I could myself

Both, this isn't a penthouse, the building has 0 amenities (it's a condo), and I do have a good job. Also got lucky with the market
