I was lucky enough to buy a house this spring, after being even more lucky to live in an apartment for 6 years without a single rent increase. After I left the apartment I checked their re-listing and it is now $200 more than my current mortgage.
The whole thing is a shit show that particularly fucks over young people.
As an old guy, I’ve been around long enough to see it get worse for generation after generation.
I’m on the other of the stick now. I won’t live long enough to pay off my mortgage. I’m hoping to work until 70 to max out my social security, otherwise I end up under a bridge.
Seriously, I finally bought a house, but in a horrible place.
I couldn’t even rent where I used to live.
