When I was 18 I got into debt with a credit card, so I decided never to be in debt again. I’m 25 now, although I’ve never made much money, and I’ve always made minimum wage, I became a big saver. I’m proud to say I don’t have a credit card, just a lot of debit cards. I don’t have a fancy car, I have a Nissan, but I bought it new from dealership with cash, I’m not paying for it, my car is an asset. I bought an empty lot with cash, 10 miles north where there are no houses yet, but the city is growing this way, my property already increased its value, my lot will be part of a residential area in 5 years. I wish I made more money, but I don’t. However, most 25 year olds have a negative net worth. If you add my car, my land, and savings, minus my debts which are none. I have a net worth way higher than most guys my age who make more money. That is considering most 25 year olds have a negative income.
Even though I make only minimum wage, would you consider me poor?
