But seriously it is. I'm seeing 30 and 40 somethings advertising for roommate shares increasingly. soon my future. Waiting for mens workhomes to come back so I can play poker and drink hooch for 20$ a night.

    I'm 34 and the chance to own a home before 40 are nil. And I have a pretty well paid job. At the same time I pay about half of my income for a flat and it's a pretty good deal ...

      yeah there sort of isn't a future. maybe it all suddenly changes when the boomers FUCKING DIE, but I think they've all reverse mortgaged to billionaires in one big final fuck you to the living.

        No it won't lmao

        When they die there'll be a new squeeze of some kind and we'll all have to sell off our parents houses for a pittance to big landlord companies

        Housing prices will have risen so dramatically that nobody will be able to afford the tax on one

          My parents never owned a home, we’ve always rented.

          For me owning a house seems like as big of an impossibility as communism being installed in Amerikkka.

          Like, nothing seems achievable in this country, at least not for me.

              Yeah man, that’s what I’ve been learning as well: make 0 committmemts. Don’t buy a new/expensive car (avoid buying one altogether if you can) don’t buy a house, get a month lease on housing, don’t have a girlfriend/wife. I made the mistake of getting a puppy a few years back and I’ve learned my lesson.
