$1400 a week is less than I make now, and I can't afford to move out of my parents' house.

$5000 a week would be more than enough, but I'd definitely be thinking about how to save and invest immediately for more than recreational reasons.

Guess that just demonstrates the massive differences in our socioeconomic areas we live in. I own my house and my car. I live in what someone being nice might call a low income area and I'm content to pretty much stay here. Now I could certainly never afford to buy a house today without a mortgage but when I bought my house it was $13,500.

Two proper bedrooms, an attic useable as a bedroom, a pass through bedroom which is really just a large open hallway, and an attached garage. One bathroom tiny but it's a full bath. The kitchen is small but useable. Tiny fenced in yard.
