Kid Buys Parents NYC House, Because Rent Is Basically Extortion
Growing up in cramped Brooklyn apartments, this Yale grad saw his immigrant parents hustle so hard, 'breaking their backs working odd jobs to pay rent.' Fast forward: juggling jobs from printer whisperer to UN campaigner, he bankrolls their Staten Island dream crib. He fondly recalls, 'I made her a promise: I would ... save whatever I could to help buy her a house in New York.' Now, they own a place where future lovebirds sneak in and weary parents finally exhale. Plot twist: still no affordable housing lottery win in sight.

Not every Yale grad says 'I'll crush college AND fix printers AND save rent money.' This dude is basically the human Swiss Army knife of hustle and now his parents got a house. Meanwhile, my biggest flex is finding the remote. This is sending me.
Variant 1: Bro worked so hard he basically upgraded his parents from renting to owning NYC real estate. Meanwhile, I can't even commit to unsubscribing from that one annoying newsletter. Priorities?
Variant 2: This has the same energy as Batman buying his parents a mansion on Wayne Street while Bruce is out here just trying to pay for his own Netflix subscription.
