I just moved to a basement apartment this month after having roommates for the last 6 or 7 years (since I moved out of my parents' place). I still have to share a bathroom and laundry with two other people, but I'm so ******* happy I have my own place.
No. Being a homeowner is one of the toughest thing to do nowadays. And having that and a useful family car ?
Look.. we don't need much to go by. Having small goals is realistic, attainable and it can actually keep you happy.
You don't ******* need a Porsche and a mansion with an indoor one mile long pool to live and be happy.

"Shoot to the moon, if you miss you will end up among stars"
Have a big dream. Go for it . You dream of 100k ferrari? 10k Guitar?
Chase it, but do not throw away your life for it. Maybe you or i will never get this.
But it is not the goal that is satisfying us. But the road to it and actions we took to get it.
Pretty way of looking at it but it's not really healthy.
See, if you have an obsession with reaching the moon you will just drift away towards the stars feeling empty, lonely and dissatisfied. You do not want the stars, you want the moon.
I generally advise people to just be happy with as little as they can do and be realistic about their goals. I mean, the road to your goal can prove to be just discouraging and just depress you if you fail too often (and higher goals means higher chances of failure). Once (and if) you reach your high goal you may find that the high amount of effort involved to get there was not worth it - you may not feel the satisfaction you thought you would. And the effort put into attaining it would have probably made you lose a lot of important opportunities and you will regret it.
What's bad about playing guitar on a decent $500 guitar anyway ? Hell, I play on an electro-acoustic $100 Ibanez and it's the best guitar I have had so far. (also had a classical $700 Spanish guitar but it was broken down by a transport company...)
What's bad about owning and using a functioning $3k-5k car ?
Being a home owner really isn't that difficult now. As long as you didn't take out a **** ton of credit cards and screw your credit when you were 18 and have a steady job (even low wage) you can rent to own or get a mortgage. It's cheaper than renting too.
Look again
>no faucet >if there is a faucet on the other side out of frame you are waisting a huge ammount of floorspace on nothing, and you have to walk with a wet strainer across it.
>if you put a dinner table in the middle you have to walk around it all the time during cooking
>its not a good kitchen to place a table in the middle considering that door opens inwardly
>that small open wall where the cabinets end (bottom left pic) is to small to put a frige/freezer without it sticking out. (it would be a better place for that bin)
>freezer/fridge must be on the other side, so more walking around the table.
>the brown spot on the ceiling indicates that the extractionhood isnt properly working.
>actually, where is the extraction hood? I dont think its possible to combine it with that microwave.
>the drawers and cupboard dont have handles
>where is the stove? is everything on the other side?
>the wall behind the countertops is painted in the same way as the rest of the walls. It doesn't look stainless. How can you not have a stainless wall in the workspace?
Hey man it is still better than mine where walls on the side are buldged and about to fall off, ****** textured cabinets and a cooker that only 2 sides work, the rest if you turn them on, the electricity shuts down, sometimes only 1 works. Oh and not to mention only 1 metre width and 2 metres lenghts of kitchen basically.
And mold. ******* mold.
I'm a fairly easy to please read: unambitious guy and my current life goals are get a stable decent paying job and find my own place to live. Likely an apartment. So honestly, most of these do look pretty nice to me.
Someone told me "I like how for a car lover, all your wallpapers aren't even proper supercars like Ferraris and Lambos and Paganis".
Maybe that's because I'm more realistic in what I'd love to own some day... And honestly... Ferraris and Lambos are ******* boring, everyone makes them out to be 'really nice' and 'the best cars ever' but this is exactly why they're unoriginal, phony, boring-arse cars and I would never own one, even if I were super rich...
Whose to say I don't have supercars on there anyway, look, GTRs!
I would still rather have a 458 or an f12 Or even better, a 599 GTB stick shift! over an R35 because they're better driver's cars.
A GT-R is driven more by it's computers than you. Many say that driving a GT-R is like playing an arcade racer. Even the infotainment is designed by Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo devs)... With an F12, you turn the aids off and you have over 700 brutal ps on the rear wheels, that takes skill, not a super smart awd that does the work for you. I can't afford any of that though so my reasonable dream car is a Soarer.
You say that the R35 has too many computers, and you say that you'd rather get a 458? The only reason the 458 can be considered any better is because it's rear wheel drive.
Well of course, but the F12 would be a chronologically logical comparison. It's a magnificent piece but being as rare and valuable it is, it's not really usable, more of a showpiece. From the era of the 250, I'd actually rather have a Toyota 2000GT, good ol' "teq"
This! Everyone praises the R32 as the best, but to me it looks too skinny, a lot like a PS13 actually. R33 looks timeless and meaty, looks like a sports car, not a cheapo coupe with a spoiler on it.
I'm not rich but relatively well off and these seem fine to me... I'd rather live simply with a complex mind and complex life otherwise, friends, goals and loved ones.
