you proverbially rammed through the brick wall into the conversation because you saw the words 'BUY', 'HOUSE' and 'CHEAP'

booomer

yeahuh

no I'm just tired of hearing people whine every 5 seconds about housing
it's expensive but it's not out of this world expensive

my father could pay the mortgage of this house and guess what his job was? he was in the army for a total of 20 years, and he was only 10 years in when he got the house

so go eat a log of shit

what does this have to do with you anyway horkysporky

because it shows that you can afford a house

good for your father

if you pick a good job

thanks for the irrelevant information

>if you pick a good job
that's the problem

and that it isn't as overpriced as people think

it absolutely is

certain housing areas are fucking overpriced

and you should avoid those

good jobs tend to be in areas with a higher cost of living

@Double Negative not always

you could move to the middle of bumfuck nowhere and drive 12 hours to your well paying job in a big city

it's not relevant to the discussion of considering the economic differences between boomer times and modern times, in which the economy is considerably different

housing affordability varies from area to area

@Double Negative you're exagerating
people around here do the kind of shit you describe, but drive 30 minutes at most to get to work

@wamps I guess I should have pointed that out from the start, but then again it only took five seconds of even typing those words out before sperglord appeared from the shadows

I know tons of people who commute hours to get to work

if homes arent hard to afford, why is home ownership so damn low these days?

people make stupid choices

and they are more expensive

>its because ppl are stupid

so it IS harder

poor people usually don't want to spend hours to get to work just to be able to afford a house

Are you denying that most Americans are fucking stupid?

considering the average IQ

yes

because their minimum wage jobs don't justify the hours of commute daily

Average IQ of 100

LEL

about half are retarded

50

kek

Breakdown of the nuclear family also plays a role in this

I believe
