I recently saw an article titled, I can't afford a house, so why don't I just be gorgeous?

Great title.

And these are the hard-hitting questions millennials are asking, so let's talk about it.

So according to this article, 52% of millennials are now homeowners, but 24% believe they'll

never be able to save enough for a down payment.

And in 2023, the average millennial spent $2,670 on cosmetics and aesthetic procedures, which is more than both Gen Z and Gen X.

Now, I don't know how accurate all these numbers are, right? But I think it speaks to this

larger trend that we are seeing. So apparently millennials are doing the classic fake rich kind of thing where they will spend $3,000

on fancy skin care or designer bag, but they claim to not have enough to save for big financial

purchases like a house.

So first off, I get it, right?

We are all human and we love a quick fix.

And there's something about like knowing you can spend an

amount of money on something and in the moment it just makes you feel great right i get it but listen

having that mindset of living so just in the moment and what feels good in the moment it is costing you

because there is something about a level of maturity with your money to say, hey, I have to

delay pleasure. Everything that I want in the moment, I can't have. And just because I feel like

I can get something that's like a little bit luxurious over here, that may not be the smart

decision in the long run. So instead, I would say, have hope that you can hit big goals.

Okay, it may take longer.

It may look differently than how you pictured it, but consistency is so, so key.
