It doesn't fulfill any of my needs(outside of money.)

I don't live in a place that has 20+, 10+, or even 1 BP meet up or REIA group so I have to do the next best thing and engage people on here that are willing to share, educate, motivate and interact with me all the while learning from folks that are doing what I ultimately want to do (becoming successful REI'ers).Although I am a newbie compared to most here on BP but I think what makes BP such an AWESOME and  fulfilling tool to use is that if you apply  what you learn and are willing to share your personal experiences back on here you give back to those that helped you as well as you also provide motivation and content for people that are just starting out as we all did once in our careers here! 

I came to realize that self indulgence was never going to give me a sense of fulfillment.

That seems more fulfilling to me.

It can be wrong if the buyer doesn't fulfill their obligation, but that's another issue.

@Miriam De Haro When you closed, you essentially acknowledged fulfillment of the owner’s contractual obligation.  

It need not be one or the other, but a more holistic approach to living a more fulfilling life. 

So not only did I not find the work non-enjoyable and non-fulfilling, it took away time from the activities that would actually get me to my end goal.

Escalating aggregate DTI isn’t the cause, it’s an indicator of overall societal irresponsibility.  

I am not sure if it is a generational thing, societal selfishness, fear or what.
