You can retire before 40 but cant afford a house? That doesn't add up.

Also do you realize that billions of people on this planet have a far worse life than you? You have the luxury of having problems like these. However purpose and meaning don't just appear out of nowhere, you have to actively go find them.

Heh, I have enough income to retire in my 30s, but not enough to buy a house in the neighborhood I rent in where home prices have gone up 500% in the last 10 years.

You need wealth to retire, not income. Can you stop working and still have that income? And if you can stop working, then why can't you buy elsewhere?

Yes, I can stop working and have a decent life. The income isn't tied to work.

> why can't you buy elsewhere?

If you could see the view from my bedroom window, you'd understand. :)
