Sorry that stung, feel it

Something odd:

It also feels, perhaps, respectful in a sense: a stranger mentions their small apartment and no one assumes it’s necessarily the same residence they’ll be in forever. Not that it matters either way… not to people who matter. (Obviously having a garden if you want one, more peace and quiet if the neighbors are loud, etc. is still going to be the ideal for any resident)

TIL:

67.4% of all occupied housing units [are] occupied by the unit's owner

@Bytemeister@lemmy.world, did you realize the ownership situation of your housing unit matches the majority’s? I don’t know what I would’ve guessed, but definitely less or more than 67%.

🤞 to a fairer future from this optimist

It is not a casual thing. It took every penny I had, and then some, and then even more from my fam. I'm extremely lucky to be in my own tiny house. Hopefully the market gets to the point where buying a house is an option for you.

Philosophically speaking, the difference between the "haves" and the "have nots" in my parents generation was having a college degree. I think for millennials the defining thing is going to be home ownership, which is why I stretched my budget very thin to get in one. Good luck.
