Its considered the First step in being a successful adult, is it on GFY?
I just bragged about making $1,000 in adult last month. So, I'm not baller, I'm not rich, and I don't sit around counting cash all day, it only takes me around 45 seconds to do that. But, as far as home ownership being a benchmark, I'd like to comment on that.

This isn't the case for everyone, certainly. But, I worked a sales job that allowed me into homes that you would believe wealthy individuals owned. Once inside, you would find no furniture, bare walls, and some crates for sitting and eating. They couldn't afford furniture after buying such a home, I saw this at 3 different homes. More than 3, but I don't know how man, all had to drive beat up old cars, let their pools turn green, their landscaping overgrow, and other such measure because after buying such a large home they had no money left. Those people are probably not living in those homes anymore and not the ballers you would believe them to be.
