Even you are thinking too far ahead. I’m spending rent money every month that obviously could be saved to someday buy a house… But on top of that my rent has increased faster than my income. Every place I’ve lived. By renting, you’re guaranteeing you’re going to be priced out of affording your shelter. And most young people have to rent, to start out. The rich have us fucked at every turn…
This is true, I asked a new-ish employee about getting/saving for a house and she was like, “why bother? They cost to much.”
the price of homes goes up faster than anyone can save. that’s the problem.
housing prices used to rise at or below inflation. now they rise at like 3x inflation.
