Definitely, real estate, by you are 30 you will be among millennials that owned homes.

Look at millennial and tech trends, owning a car is becoming less important, and it's a liability. 

You are so ahead of the curve, those Toledo neighborhoods with the cool and affordable houses (opposite of cookie cutter) will be all the rage when the millennials move out of their parents basement (eventually lol).

Millennials also seem to not value home ownership as much as past generations, they value the flexibility of being able to move and change jobs.

On top of the ~$650 for groceries, we were spending about $450 more a month on eating out and of course millennials love craft beer and nice wine(lol).We went from 0-100 from the beginning and started eating out only once a week and gave ourselves a $50/week grocery budget except when we needed paper goods.

We are caught in an interesting supply/demand situation: demand is driven by the demgraphic shift and the competition between millennials buying their first home and boomers downsizing.

Ratiu predictions for 2020 (go here for the article https://www.realtor.com/resear....) is Millennials will take on more mortgages than the Baby Boomers and Gen Xers combined.

A lot of people that never really had any interest in real estate per se, watch these YouTube gurus who fancy up their videos with colorful thumbnails in them living the highlife showing the simplicity of it but do not show the hard work, actually talking to people in which I think millennials have a hard time doing, interacting, as well as not getting held up on analysis paralysis.

It’s typical millennial entitlement.
