By 30 you should have a mortgage and be making 70k+

[Dr. Acula]

They helped pay for the engineering program that I got kicked out of for bad grades.

Well if I remember your last thread, most people were calling you a bullshyt artist style of troll. However, again, if you're telling the truth, your parents are probably frustrated that their failure of a son is back home leeching off of them instead of putting work at school

Go back to school Jody so your parents can go back to fukking in the kitchen in peace.

You don't need a mortgage if you don't plan on staying in one place for 10 years IMO. I've gotten the salary mark, but not the mortgage. I'd like to do it someday but no regrets.

 

[live it to the limit]

I got the mortgage but not the salary

 

[THOT CATALOG]

be a slave to the bank by 30 brehs. spend thirty years to pay it back brehs.

be tied down to your corporate job because you need to make mortgage payments or else you gotta sell your house brehs.

again, you could be in way worse of a position but this scenario is key to a mediocre life without freedom. just don't get complacent.

In the fall I'm going to a junior college to bring my up my GPA and transfer to different uni.

tell your parents to eat a dikk and what you do isnt their business unless youre inconveniencing them/living off of their dime.

Unless you're doing something you enjoy/have an aptitude for, money is overrated.

 

[TRFG]

Take the financial and educational advice you get from some TLR posters with a grain of salt, especially that DrX character. If you majored in a STEM field, did internships and held a solid GPA your starting salary should be around 60-70k and even more in some fields.

You can get into a home with a 500 credit score while making $25k a year if you don't have too much debt. Look into FHA loans if you're looking to buy home but think you wouldn't qualify.

You mean my broke ass csn get a house?

I Make a little over 30 which is bum status.

But I think it's bum status cuz I'm black if I was white or another another race I'd be married

But really I only have a car payment. No other bills, I'm look into a cheap 2 2.

Mortgage

I'm trying to own LAND breh, and build my dwelling upon that holy ground

It's the same shyt, breh. You still gotta pay for your dwelling and your taxes

 

[Vodun]

love and live life, if your black in this country just be happy to have a job that can somewhat support a family, In the end when your old none of that petty shyt matters because when your on your death bed nobody gives a damn about your house or how much money you make.

 

[Wink Beaufield]

DC rental market so jacked up that its was actually cheaper to buy a house than it is to rent.

 

[BlackBall]

Put that on your tombstone

Good luck with that in our new economy.

I've been on 8 interviews for 100k+ jobs in the past 6 months all have told me "Impressive background", "Highly Qualified", "We needed someone yesterday" - No dice. I am working for a Top Fortune 500 client I get weekly e-mails from recruiters but none want to seal the deal - With anyone. They close job postings and repost the same jobs one week to one month later just collecting applications and never filling the role. This has been happening across the market for the past year or so.

Friends have told me the same thing, employers are blowing smoke up candidates asses for some reason. It's a combination of young dumb recruiters entering the fields in droves not having a clue what they are doing. Employers who are unable to understand tech and skills and how to evaluate or screen out candidates without pissing off qualified guys and deterring them from applying....And lastly the overall economic uncertainty, Trump is making employers skittish about spending money.

Corporations have BILLIONS in the banks collectively they have not spent since the recession. Hiring in high wage jobs has NOT picked up enough - See first time starter home availability growth has slowed while demand has SKYROCKETED. Because these millenials are getting 30k-40k jobs and that's all they can afford. Meanwhile on the other end of the spectrum LUXURY MILLION DOLLAR CONDOS AND HOMES are skyrocketing in supply yet demand remains lower....

The real estate market is impacted by labor markets but by a delay of 5-10 years. This is disastrous. Cheap Oil has NOT helped....

All of these factors are leading to any of your artificial benchmarks that used to apply even in 2006 - NO LONGER APPLICABLE.

At age 30 - TODAY - NOT 10+ YEARS AGO - You're lucky if you're making 45k let alone 70k.

And you're forgetting one more thing - Most millenials have to move to BIG CITIES to get corporate jobs and experience. Guess what - Big cities real estate values are OUT OF REACH for most young people still building or repairing credit and lending standards have INCREASED once again. And with all the student loans and low income do you think the bank will approve them even if they have good or even perfect credit? They will say your fixed debt to income ratio is out of whack we can't approve you unless it's 30% APR.

By 30 you should be doing what you enjoy, and earn enough to live the life you want to live. There is no set figure on that, some people earn $40k and live a happier life than those earning $80k.
