Yeah those savings will be wiped out by health problems from working two full-time jobs and only getting 3 hours of sleep.

Hopefully she’s in a country that doesn’t have private health care. But yeah, either way, the health problems that will come later on won’t be worth the money saved.

Lacerna, a 28-year-old part-time content creator near San Francisco, wants to save $100,000 to put toward a down payment to buy a house.

She’s fucked then. Isn’t capitalism great? Isn’t America great?

LOL $100k as a down payment? Aren't houses in SF like $1.5M? Might as well just accept it's not happening tbh.

She could get some type of assistance as a first time homebuyer and start out with a crappy rate until she’s able to refinance. Better than paying a landlord. I imagine her rent is astronomical.
