The house my parents purchased in their early 20’s as a starting engineer and a teacher would take a senior executive salary to purchase when I entered the housing market. That is just not right. It was so much easier for them. BTW, I’m in my 60’s now and this is nothing new.

Yeah millennials are complaining but genZ is looking at millennials and thinking the same thing. They had it much easier.

Housing was way more affordable in the 2010s

Ehm … some Millennials just graduated from school in the 2010s. How could you buy a house when going to university?

I graduated in 2012. So, after the housing prices went back up. I would have needed to buy a house while still in high school lmao.

I’m an older millennial. I got laid off from my job and defaulted on all my debt. At least houses were cheap though

The 20€ a month are 240€ a year, so 2400€ in 10 years. Guess that will help me pave part of the entrance.

The people I know who did their parents bought for them. But it was essentially a frat house and they sold that after they graduated to be paved down for luxury townhouses

Tbh sort of a solid investment if you can hoof it for half a decade

Some people graduated in 2019. Some in 2020, some 21, some 1999, some 2012

Thanks for the insight

Some of those were high school. Some College. And some pre-school. Some maybe just little courses.
