I mean, every year my rent increases and my pay doesn’t (not every year). So every year I have less to spend each month.
The thing that pisses me off is that I’m not Asking to be able to afford a house. I already gave up on that a long time ago. I’m only asking to be able to stay at a place that I’ve been living in for 10 years. And by the way, moving is also super expensive. On top of that, let’s say I did move to a place where the rent is cheaper initially, the rent is gonna be increasing every year there too.
I’m just trying to live a stable, modest life without having a panic attack every time I see her, no tape to my door (which usually signifies a rent increase notification).
I really wish something could be done about this.
I can’t afford a down payment. You can’t buy a decent house in Cali for less than a mil.
I get it. Paying rent sucks (with the advantage of not having to pay your repairs). But I can’t afford a house at this point. Just can’t afford to save enough money. So although I know it’s more optimal, I’m okay with paying rent in the current market. I just can’t deal with the constant increases.
I think you get my point though. Paying rent is not optimal, but a person with a decent job should be able to afford it.
While I don’t disagree with what you’re trying to say, I don’t think it’s hard to understand what I’m getting at either.
I’m fully with you. I just want to have a roof over my head, have some time for hobbies, and be able to afford cheese at the supermarket. Alas, apparently we’re asking for too much! How very selfish of us.
I would also like to add that I earn above a minimum wage. It’s by no means a stellar income, but it’s decent. On top of that, live with my mom, so we split the rent!
And somehow I’m here stressing over whether I’ll be able to afford my place of residence a few years from now. This is not okay. I really want there to be some change, but I don’t know what can be done.
This is where your entitlement kicks in. You think that you should magically get access to high-value, low-supply properties before the people living in the areas you deem “not good enough” for you. You already have more than the people living in these areas, yet you think you deserve even more before them.
Greed. Entitlement. Consumerism. Name three bigger pillars of the modern liberal. (and don’t say empathy, you people care more about your money and social status than actually helping others.)
And you’re going to get mad at anyone who calls it out.
Those who own entire apartment buildings… meh okay sure, whatever dude 🤷♂️
The individual landlords who grew up in third world countries who have like 2 properties to fund their retirement because
checks news
the politicians (trump, musk) are actively trying to cut social security? Maybe hold off your trigger.
If you added up all the bad things “Landlords” have done, its still not as bad as the CEO of the Health Insurance Company who’ve done the least denials, much less than Brian Thompson.
To re-iterate, the “least evil” health insurance company is still 100x worse than all landlords combined.
If you want to make a real difference, start from the top.

If only a hero could rise up…

Sigh. This is part of the problem. We need to value ownership more than renting.

Would you be willing to do it in a town of 3,000 people?
If you have to move to bumfuck nowhere to afford food and housing, the system isn’t working
Have you heard of supply and demand?
