@alirihani.ae: When I was 18, I wanted a nicer car. My dad sat me down and said: "You can either buy a nicer car... Or you can own your own house." At 18, I bought my first home. What I didn't know was that every dollar I thought I was paying my parents had been quietly put aside. On settlement day, they handed it all back to me as part of my deposit. That moment changed the way I looked at money, parenting and sacrifice forever. Parents don't always agree with us. And sometimes we don't understand their decisions until years later. Looking back now... That was one of the greatest gifts anyone has ever given me. If you're lucky enough to still have your parents, tell them you love them today. ❤️

This is what we have been doing for our son & he doesn’t know it. He’s 17 & a second year apprentice. He’s saved $22k of his own money & we have secretly saved $8k of his board money.

Even if that was four full years of $50/week, that’s just over $10000. You’re telling me you bought a house with $10000?

I have chills this is my exact story. I bought my first home at 19 years old and car at 17. My mum said here you go, here is your deposit for a home. All the money I gave her she saved for me.
