This is the stuff I think of whenever someone says “America is the land of the free”.
We’re really not. We’re the land of working paycheck-to-paycheck. It’s been eight years since we learned that 40,000,000 people can’t afford a sudden $400 expense.
It’s a shame. This is what’s going to get a legit fascist elected in November.
this thought pushed us to buy this year. Some instantly started mocking us for buying while rates are 6% - but nothing I can see on the horizon is going to halve rates in the near future.
The cost of housing in my city, relative to median wages, is the highest it’s been since interest rates were 18%+, and it ain’t much better in any major city I can find work.
Yeah, my boyfriend and I are in our mid twenties and still not moved out of his parents’ house, but we just made an offer on a house and it was accepted, so fingers crossed.
Shit is already so rough, and yet it doesn’t seem like it’ll get better. It’s a shame, really.
