    No, I understand what he’s trying to say. The point is: doing what he recommends requires having money to save up in the first place, and for a big portion of people in their 20s that’s not the case.

      It’s valid, and it sucks. If you can even do $5, it’s worth it. But the world is absolutely against you right now. A lot of older folk don’t quite get how bad it’s gotten.

      However, saving a dollar today is worth more than saving two dollars ten years from now. And having an emergency fund might actually save your life.

      Hopefully something happens to shake up housing. These prices are absolutely criminal.
