I'm in the 40% that can't afford it and am not going to be able to in my lifetime.

The absolute insanity of me!

Have you tried not being poor? Just let your financial advisor invest the $500k your parents left you in your trust fund so that you can make money on it. It's so easy.

Silly me, I see now what I'm doing wrong. I should have picked richer parents to be born to!

Instead I tried to stop being poor through hard work, only I picked the wrong body to be born into.
