I wish someone had come into the schools when I was younger and says, OK, so you want to be a journalist.

This is the average salary.

And if you meet another journalist, this will be his or her average salary.

And together, this is the type of mortgage you'll be able to get.

And this is what your home will look like.

I just wish someone had actually broken it down so I could maybe...

have been a little bit more strategic.

That brings us into number six, which is buying a home versus renting.

Yes.

Yeah.

I think we're slowly getting there, actually.

I think that the new changes now, do you know what I mean, in terms of there's more power, even more power now with the renter.

I think that makes it ever so slightly less precarious.

Number eight, Cal, is the bet that we do want to win.

And that is starting to invest early.

And number nine, which is the final one on your list.

This is comparing yourself to others financially.

So this is something that we need to make a decision about.

Are we going to do that or are we not going to do that?

Oh, this is so hard because humans, we always compare ourselves.
