I'm an elder millennial but you guys are in the same boat. No idea how we're going to afford housing down the line.

I specifically meant I'm getting my degree in physics so I can do this

Can you stop by me in 2012 when I bought up a bunch of Bitcoin and tell me not to waste it, hold onto it for a few years because it will make me a millionaire? Thx

  1. Lower standards
  2. Buy shitty small rural house built nearly 200 years ago
  3. Spend any and all free time & money learning the skills & buying the tools to strip it down and rebuild it. All of it is online. Do it quietly and you won't have to pull permits. Hold yourself to a higher standard than what a permit will allow and you'll be fine.
  4. Continue to invest in yourself and your skills. You will become a rich person if you do this, if not in money, then knowledge. The earlier you can do this, the more value will compound off of your skillset.

It's not fun but it's possible for myself, born 98. Got my little slice and the sunsets and stars are sure damn pretty out in the boonies. Gotta deal with the rednecks & general small mindedness though.
