I'm at the point where I'm considering a 30-year mortgage

which is also the expected lifespan of my avocado toast-fueled liver

I've been trying to afford a house in my area

but the only thing I can afford is a timeshare in my parents' basement

My therapist encouraged me to find healthy ways to self-soothe.

So I started color-coding my anxiety spreadsheet.

My dad told me to save 10% of every paycheck for my future.

Right now, my paycheck *is* 10% of what I need for my present.
