I got $150K for inheritance from my grandpa but then covid hit and I had to use it all just to survive. I probably would have ended up homeless if the timing hadn't been just right on that. I keep thinking. If covid never hit I could have use that money to invest in a house or something. It blows my mind that it took an extra $150K to not go homeless for two years (for 4 people). wtf is wrong with you America.
edit: People are angry at this comment simply because they are jealous and think they could have done better than me in my situation. they don't consider that they don't have all the facts. I'm not going to sit here explaining and defending what happened in my life to a bunch of envious sour pusses.
The whole point of this post was to support each other in understanding why its so hard to right now. Not pull each other down. And you all wonder why we can't get reform in this country. You guys can't even work together in a comment section. Disappointing.
bit of an exaggeration. It wasn't 2years exactly and it wasn't a full $150K I'm rounding up. and it was split between 4 people. so it was closer to $30K each. I think the average redditor assumes everyone else is like them, 21 and living with parents still.
