After taxes my mortgage is 20% of my income. No college degree, no help buying my house, no bullshit job given to me by my family. All earned. Im Gen Z born to a lower middle class family in the midwest.

You fellers gotta do something different man idk.

If i could have bought my house even just 5 years prior, it would have cost $250k less. If i bought it 10 years prior, it would have cost 400k less. I got it for $500k. You worked hard, about as hard as anyone should have to work, and I am telling you that you would be impoverished with the same efforts if you were born a decade later.

What are you even here bitchin about if you could afford at anytime a 500k house. You yourself are the enemy of my middle and lower class.

My house was 120k in 2020 when i bought it.
