Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
Housing prices have outpaced inflation by a large margin, and inflation has outpaced wages. Ownership saves money in the long run, and ensures that you can stay in your neighborhood affordably, whether you have competitive job skills or not.


True but I’m not sure if you follow economics on classes but while the middle class shrunk the upper middle class more then doubled from years before.

so really we are in a society where people who level up win and those that don’t lose.





right now if you are out of touch from buying a home I suggest you look what new skills you can acquire to access more money and also learn about other investments. This isn’t the year 1989 where the average person thought you had to be rich to invest in stocks. Investments are readily available

You need to be shot with an AK 47 for you to preach bootstraps at a time like this. :birdman:

Is it?

1.) the average landlord doesn’t make 6 figures and is a mom and pop landlord

2.) The average middle class homeowner is riddled in debt and one check away from foreclosure

3.) average American doesn’t even have $1,000 in savings.

Can’t call renting throwing money away when these facts exist.

1. It doesn't matter what a landlord makes. What matters is how much money you save when you can build equity from your monthly housing payment.

2. Renters are riddled in debt as well. If a home is foreclosed on, the homeowner gets the money back they put into it. When a renter gets evicted, they don't get anything back

3. The average American should find ways to save so that they don't rent forever.

Renting is more expensive than owning long term. I've done the math. Renting can also force you to move if it goes up too much, whereas ownership has relatively stable expenses in line with inflation.

This is not boot straps talk. This is someone giving you advice on how to win in the climate that we are in.


Boot strap talk is literally a privileged person telling you to do better. Lol


Poverty is something I’m scared of and so naturally I study my climate and analyze where the money making opportunities are.

Not everyone can "get skills" and raise the quality of living for everyone.

You in the position of a corporate bootlickers telling people to "do better" just to live a basic lifestyle.

1.) you can’t say renting is throwing money away when homeowners and landlords are living day to day and one check away from foreclosure.

2.) Who said renters aren’t in debt? We are talking about money being thrown away.

3.) The average American should learn to save AND INVEST so they don’t rent forever.

I analyze people a lot and I will gladly say I disagree.

The world is evolving and a lot of jobs aren’t evolving with the world and aren’t viewed as useful anymore.

but here is the real issue. It’s only going to get worst with automated technology for people who “can’t” acquire new skills.


So even though you think you are helping people you really aren’t.

Just start killing the people supporting this mentality of greed. Noted.
