I don’t see it as that, it’s just a comparison to show how fucked up things are now.
Believe me I’m super bitter about being getting fucked on rent and being priced out of buying, but I dont take those kinds of comments as rubbing it in, just providing context.
I think Biden is giving out money for first time home buyers. I read that somewhere. An article mentioned it was like $400 a month for 2 years for first time home buyers to help them afford this shit. I mean a better fix would be stop all these corporations buying up houses and making it very expensive for others to buy, but I guess better than nothing?
Let’s flip it this way.
My rent was 1500 a month, and it was going to go up 13% this year. I bought a house this year instead, 2500 a month. In 5 years, that shithole apartment will cost more than my house.
People aren’t bragging about how low their house payments are, their warning everyone about how shitty apartment price gouging is.
That wasn’t my intentions, and I apologize if that has stepped on someone’s toes. I’m just mentioning how things have changed. I don’t think a mortgage payment is something to brag about, not for me at least. Hell, I’m still a broke ass mo fo who’s living paycheck to paycheck trying so hard to raise two kids.
What single contributing factor would you say carries the most weight? Throughout history there has been inequality, but never like this. Even medieval peasants worked less than modern Americans.
Why do people always turn these posts into opportunities to brag about how low their house payment is?

The human race is truly fucked ain’t it? We are all out for ourselves. Nothing will ever change.

Edit:lol downvoted for posting a source.
Thanks, the medieval worker put in much longer work hours, which is interesting
You must have some reading comprehension problems or you’re simply arguing in bad faith. I suspect it’s the latter
