And it's only going to get worse real fast. If you think it's bad now, inflation, food and gas prices are about to go through the roof. Making 100k now will like making 30k 2o years ago. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78095637 All by design. 90% of people will be priced out of home ownership. I'm wondering when the world population will realize there is a war being waged on them right now. "You'll own nothing and be happy" 20 years ago I went out on disability with a private insurance around 100K base pay, now it is barely enough in the North East. |

We've never had a house note. We never go out to eat. We live in an area with a low cost of living that is damn near recession proof. I know things have got tight because I've never had to budget at the grocery store until recently. We are far from doing bad but, im expecting things to be uncomfortable soon. Before I ALWAYS put money into savings. Now, it almost feels like we are living paycheck to paycheck. |

It all scales up/down.. We want more than we need (not to mention deserve) simply because "that other guy has it", and so remain forever impoverished in our own minds. Even two mansions and a few Lamborghinis in... Because "I deserve it" |
