Some more advice to my nurses since y'all are hearing me in 2024... the amount you are working to qualify for that $400k+ house, is the amount you will have to work to maintain it. UNLESS you start replacing overtime shifts with assets. The reason I am 33, and work one day a week is because I do not GAF about flashy shit, was willing to struggle for 3 years, drive a 2012, and invested 80%+ of my income. I determined what success looked like to ME. What is it to you?
