Three people want to buy a house and retire early but have zero savings and no idea where their money goes. They're spending $4,000 a year on subscriptions alone. They work hard, feel stuck, and can't figure out why.
I think we both want to like really make some money. Like, I will teach you to be rich. Like, we want to be rich. We want to buy our first house.
I'd like to retire early. I know that sounds crazy once we look at our numbers. $0 in savings. And you have a daughter.
We just spend money and then figure it out afterwards.
Do you ever actually go and look into your spending and find out what happened? Not very often.
We should make enough money to not be in our position that we're in, and that's why it's just a confusing web. I don't even know how to, like, unravel it.
You spend over $4,000 a year on subscriptions alone, right?
I just knew it was bad, but I did not know it was that much.
You feel very disconnected on money.
We've been together for 3 years, and it seems like we just never get ahead. We're always kind of living paycheck to paycheck.
I feel resentful in the fact that I feel like I'm working really hard all the time so that we have money.
I sometimes look around, I'm like, this is what I wanted. I got what I wanted, and I'm still unhappy.
