Hi all, I'm in my early 20s. I just bought my first house and put half of my savings on the down payment. I have always wanted a house for security so I thought it was worth it. I wanted to put all of my money down but I had to stop myself because what if I need it for something, or could use it to invest and make even more money?
Before Covid, I rejected any social invitations that might require me to spend money. Obligatory work events were reimbursed by the company, so I was safe there. But for everything else... I just don't spend money. I can't justify it. I grew up dirt poor and it sucks to worry about money. Now I don't have to. Now I can save all the money I make just in case something were to happen.
