Anonymous Coward User ID: 83289550 Mexico 05/18/2022 03:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My parents bought a home 30 years ago for 15k in a nice suburban neighborhood, needed a coat of paint but nothing major. Quoting: BFD That house is now worth 300k and the neighborhood has gone to shit. Wages have barely risen. Sure, it's still the suburbs but now they have to lock their doors... for reasons. Anyways, no wonder 30-40 somethings don't own homes. Hmm. It has not risen to 300K. Your Dollars have devalued by 2000% |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83289550 Mexico 05/18/2022 03:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I paid $50,000 for my house 10 years ago. They say it's worth $150,000 now, but I like my home and couldn't afford a higher house payment if I wanted to leave. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82678791 Euphemisms do not change reality. It's just a twist to fool the stupid. You need 300% more Dollars to buy the same or more than 10 years ago. |

User ID: 76494359 United States 05/18/2022 04:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My house is now valued at nearly TWICE the amount we paid for it. If we sold our house, we would definitely make a profit - but where would we move? Maybe down south/west where homes are more affordable. We've been investing in chicken coops, gardens, generators, preserving food, etc. The problem for us is property tax keeps going up. Quoting: ElleMira What you do is MOVE into the center of the USA somewhere. A small town, and buy a cheap house there. Because things are about to get DICEY in big cities and on the coasts. I looked at homes where my son lives, small town in the midwest - they've gone up nearly double too. I think the window of opportunity for affordable homes are gone and I agree that those living in big cities are screwed. My friend bought a studio condo in NYC in 2018 - the upper East side. She paid a fortune for it. She loved it. Going out with friends every night for dinners, enjoying all the city had to offer. Then covid hit and boom - she was stuck in her box of an apartment with a tiny oven and 2 burner stovetop. She figured she would sell after all the covid crap but then the crime wave happened and now she's stuck in a shithole. |

It's outrageous here in NH. We don't have sales tax or income tax but they gouge us with the property tax. We rank #3 in highest property tax (under New jersey and Illinois).

Quoting: ElleMira Same here… we bought our house three years ago and now it’s value four times… and maybe even more with all the updates I’m doing it… I started raising chickens last year and fertilizing the yards with the chicken waste… this spring I invested few thousands in buying fruit trees and seeds. I haven’t checked our taxes, I thing they are still the same … |

Quoting: here&back They won't be too happy once they're older and wish they had something better. Probably is just more propaganda research anyway. When I was young we couldn't afford much. We lived on top each other...apartments with lots of roommates. THIS IS NOTHING NEW. They think we somehow we were given everything! It's how it works. These woke idiots aren't "new" they are young and stupid like every other young adult. No man, wages haven't risen in decades, there is no such thing as a starter home anymore, and inflation is through the roof. The value of your currency and by proxy, your labor... has plummeted. Become educated. [link to www.usinflationcalculator.com (secure)] You idiots voted Biden in! So YOU fucked up. Educate yourself! Your generation is sending us into a depression with all your woke bullshit. Not me. I don't know a single (local) person that voted for the senile Obiden. That idiot was installed via a 12AM to 5AM vote-fraud coup by the See Eye Aye and all of their leftist DS-flunkies/associates in WI, GA, AZ, MI, and PA. |
