If you are saving up 90% of your income, as you say elsewhere, then in what meaningful sense are you financially stretched? Your salary may be low, but you clearly need almost none of it to live on. That means that you do have options.
- user-extended 4y agoYes, however, I do not see that salary increasing any time soon. If I were to rent, that salary would get stretched a lot more than it is right now, as even that 90% of money I can save currently with my lifestyle (and it's closer to 70-80%, realistically speaking) is kind of peanuts. Indeed, I have options, but the other option is going from saving a small amount to almost nothing. And the more I think about it, the more I realize I may be just... making a big mistake, and that I should "Carpe Diem". Let me remind you at my current rate I'd need to work for 20 years to afford a house in my country (with 0 other expenses, so 30, really speaking).
