[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
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.
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.
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.
