When a place has 2 dining rooms, multiple bathrooms and multiple living areas, it goes beyond the term 'cabin'

200k is a 2 room condo

I live near Bremen in Germany. Since the interest rate in Europe is at 0% the prices are rising and my House worth more now as well. 1/2

Hear that kids? Construction. Not university. Construction. I learned this the hard way, 40 years late. Get a trade.

Ur gonna need to elaborate. Average income for a construction worker is around 30-60k.

8 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 1

Unless you mean your family owns it's own business or is some kind of developer, "construction" won't pay for this.

I build power lines and should clear at least 150k next year. Unions help if you want in the trades.

if you put 200/wk into savings over 20 years you'll have over 200k Mixed with other investments its not hard to achieve that.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

under the assumption of 60k/yr. If at 30/yr you could do 100/wk (I do that) and it'd be 104k
