The cognitive dissonance an entire generation has worldwide about the housing crisis needs to be studied for a century:

It’s wild, cuz most of us are so dead broke the most we can afford is rent, food and nothing else. And the only thing we can afford we get shit on for. I get bother takeout and cook for myself, takeout isn’t really that much more expensive than cooking for yourself.

"I made it work by making my own sandwiches 😠" "Also my mom gifted me her house 🤗"

Were they such good savers or did they buy it with their childrens money?

They spent the first half of their lives building wealth with job security, unions and cheap housing, then the second half destroying unions, job security and cheap housing.

Spending $20 a day on lunch and coffee 5 days a week for a year is $5,200. “Saving” that and getting free lunch each day would take 12 years to get the downpayment on a $300,000 house, which is still well below average is most Us cities that have jobs

The lady who said she used to pack a lunch and thermos and then said she got given her first home even when they were like $10k 😭

The absolute cheek of that woman lecturing people on how she saved money by making her own lunch, only to then tell us she waited for her old dear to push the daisies up and simply inherited instead.

I have saved enough for a 50% deposit and still can’t get a mortgage. Wish I had had more avocado on toast and enjoyed myself.

The worst generation to ever plague this earth

If you skip Starbucks and buying lunch everyday let’s say you save $15 a day. That’s $5,475 a year. If you invest that $5,475 a year for 6 years at 9% return you’d have $55,000 for a down payment. Starting fresh out of college you’d be a home owner well before age 30…
