[yellow character, with a smug smile]
It’s your fault you didn’t buy real estate to live in while it was cheap back when you were 3 years old.

DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR POOR CHOICES
My bad for not also investing in Bitcoin while being potty trained. I’ve wasted my potential.
I used to beat myself up a little for dismissing bitcoin early on and therefore missing a chance at being rich. But then I realized that it was like beating myself up for not winning the lottery just because I know now what last week’s winning numbers were. I would have had to dedicate time, effort and money I couldn’t easily spare into chasing an irrational long shot.
Plus, odds are I would have sold it all the minute it was worth a little, which would be much worse. Or that someone would steal it all, as happened to a lot of people early on.
My grandma once told me “everyone wishes they could have bought a house for the price their parents did.” Which, yeah, inflation’s a thing, but housing is not supposed to be an appreciating investment vehicle.
The interest rate on a mortgage when I was 3 was literally 16%. Glad thats over… course the price of the house just went up to make up the difference.
Oh it more than made up the difference.
