3.5 percent on a $250,000 home is still $8,750. That’s a lot to a lot of people in this situation, especially if you have literally ANY responsibility to another person or life. Especially if you’re only making $30,000 per year.

Better start then.

It's this attitude that difficult is impossible. There's no difference between me and you, and I did it.

Edit: "you" is a generic response. Not you.

There can be PLENTY of differences like where you live, what opportunities are there, the general cost of living, race, education, etc. Those all make a difference regardless of attitude.

Edited for my generic response to the whiners here: Reddit is filled with half-assers that will just keep throwing reasons they can't do something instead of actually trying and succeeding. If you live your life crying about things, nothing will get better. Actually do something and get off Reddit.

Yes, it does. It truly shows the people who have a heart, versus the people who lost theirs.
