Free service. If you can't afford a home, hit me up. I'll show you why/where you done fucked up.

I have a house, but I am sure that your average reactionary conservative would prefer to think of your average commie as unemployed or living in mom's basement because it makes their bad arguments and general ignorance go down smoother

Sure, but it's still frustrating to find out that purchases that take up 50-80% of a good salary only took up about 20-30% of a low end salary.

The dollar just does not go as far as it used to.

There are a lot of reasons, Im not blaming anyone for this, but the simple fact makes life just a little bit frustrating for people, while we live in a time peroid where it simply shouldn't be makes them angry.

We should not be going through this economic hardship, we've been letting boomers redline, while we snort whitelines.. for too long. Its both of our faults, but that doesnt change that it's a fuse to a stick of dinamite.

I guess I can conceed were all more shrude and smart now, and so competition is so rampant that life is just harder now.

But like, to what end is life actaully better as a result? Im not sure.. I guess it is for some.

This is the next stage of the appocalypse: Buy now pay later apps

Imagine downloading an app, and it functions like a credit card?

lol you dont have to imagine anymore!

These apps allow customers to split purchases like a cup of coffee, or a mcdonalds meal, into 3 to 4 smaller payments spread out over months...

lol were fucking dead meat

This hasn't been true since the late 60s. Only the oldest of Boomers had this advantage. And while housing is a greater % of your income now, the annual rates of return have also skyrocketed.

Poor career choices, choosing to start out in cities with a high cost of living, poor spending/savings habits. That's what it comes down to.

Yes, we already know discussion of actually being poor is purely hypothetical to you and that all of your information on it comes only from reactionary "middle class" rags

Please stop beating the horse, it is very dead

I don’t like investment firms mass-buying up houses’ impact on housing prices, but I also agree with what’s stated here. Which is weird, because I wouldn’t agree with this guy on a lot of other things

Finish high school, don’t have a child before financially able, get an entry level job, do the research on a good choice of education or tradeschool, calculate when you can have a loan for it paid back by….and barring some unfortunate disaster that path should work

I don’t think I need to hear how a poor person who became middle class did it because it shouldn’t be all that different, but if it is different, sure I’d be down to hear it. I wouldn’t want to get advice on how to become middle class by someone who has remained poor all their life either

Do you think those people care you think they made bad life decisions when theyre setting your house on fire because they outnumber you 10,000 to 1 and the promise of prosperity is gone?

Poor spending/savings habbits are not a result of an indidivudals decision. People didnt just become this way. They were raised this way. Leadership tells them to be this way. Education, entertainment, the media, friends, and family all are in on the deception.

Revenge of the sith and all that.
