    Just be born rich, and use Daddy’s money to start a business. It’s so easy, anyone can do it.

    EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP USING HOUSES AS AN APPRECIABLE INVESTMENT. THIS IS WHY THE OTHER HALF OF THE POPULATION ARE HOMELESS. of course wealthy people don’t care about homeless people so this shitty-human-problem will never end, will it

      Houses aren’t an appreciable investment, the land is. Look at what happens to the values on mobile homes.

      For individuals and families who actually live in them, a house is a perfectly valid investment with positive side-effects for the overall economy. The issue is with investment firms trading around real estate like it’s candy, which takes housing out of regular use and inflated prices for everyone who actually needs it.

    I was 20 and my father took all my savings a little before that year, gone was my future.

    I saved up and tried again but with the prices we needed help of some dear friends, who turned out to just be after our money and we ended up trusting then too much.

    Now should be attempt 3, but i can’t summon half a million for a house that cost 100k when i saved up for my first attempt at buying a house.

    Oppertunities have gone, life is over as far as i give a damn. It was…something…while it lasted alright.

      Be angry, also, at the people who have rigged the game, those in power, artificially inflating prices to line their own pockets. And I’m so sorry you’ve had such bad runs! I’m also a little proud of you for, not only getting as far as you did, but a few times! Well done! I say we fucking eat the rich.

        I’ve stopped being angry, i can’t spare the energy to do so.

        I just went into: “it’s over anyway” mode. Straight up work, eat, sleep wait for death.

    Bought a house in 2017 and seemed to have lucked out. Got a semi-decent price at a semi-decent rate, but now the market just looks absolutely bonkers insane by comparison.
