Rent till we die! Yayyyyyy
Honestly, the only reason I want to own is because I have gotten too old, out of shape, and fat to move most of my furniture myself, and I am not sure I can afford a mover, so I want the security that I am on a straight and narrow that doesn’t have the constant looming threat of the owner going “yeah… I’m just not gonna renew the lease” even though I am still somehow keeping up with the payments.
You mean my not owning a home is not just because I’m a bad person and had too much avocado toast?
Hey now! If you don’t eat Steak and Eggs for breakfast, like the previous generation, how can you afford a home?
Been 16 years already?
Yup.
About how old my grandpa was when he bought a plot of land, a shit ton of wood, and a shit ton of concrete and built the house that was sold to pay off his medical debt when he died…
…fuck…that’s dark. Sorry things swung that way for your family.
I lean on the word “about”.
He actually illegally enlisted in the Navy during WWII when he was 16, so it was more like 20/21 when he bought the plot and materials.
Ya, still dark AF. And I also don’t think its a rare family story.
