I have enough money for a 20% down payment, but I'd have to make too many compromises to own a home. I wish homeownership were easier, but renting isn't holding me back from succeeding financially. AdvertisementIn the US, the path to financial success seems set in stone: Get a degree, get a steady job, and buy a house. Despite the deeply ingrained cultural norm of glorifying homeownership, I've decided not to feel bad about renting. It's not right that gainfully employed people can't afford to buy a house in many cities anymore.

I'm happy to spend $5 on an Americano, even if I make a fairly modest income. I prioritize my coffee spending over other things, like new clothes or regular haircuts. Mostly, though, I just enjoy living in a world where local shops, and the people who run them, can thrive. When my husband and I first started dating, we'd often post up in a coffee shop to have "together-alone time." The organization referred to coffee houses as special places "where time and space are consumed, but only the coffee is found on the bill."
