I'm giving up on the idea of living, nevermind getting a house.
Older than millennials and accepted that I'll never own a home. This is despite having money. Not where we want to live, anyway.
We could swing it if we accepted living in a shithole like Utah, but then I'd hate my life.
Get ready to buy the dip
the casino is honestly pretty easy to pull from once you know how it works, easiest $ i'v ever made.
especially a raging bull market like this...after i figured it out, have made more in the last 3 months than i made working honestly the last 6-7 years. and i'm not even doing the real risky stuff like shorting
that's where all these rich fucks put their ratfucked money from uncle sam...crashes like the one the wolves are building to now represent the best shot most plebs have at grabbing any serious amount of wealth for themselves.
the game is rigged, keeping your chin high and playing fair only insures you stay poor, unempowered, and eventually disillusioned.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (written over a century ago) is a pretty good primer for anyone who wants to see just how this all works. wallstreet and bankstreet never changes, it just occasionally rebrands.

I'm a millennial homeowner and the only way I managed to do so was after getting a toehold in a cheaper market.
at this point they're just rubbing it in
Special news report coming in: Water is indeed wet.
That's okay, people like Vince Zampella still get their Ferraris to crash into walls at 100mph,
I just bought the cheapest house that was bearable to live in. It was $40k cash.
It's very hard to find single-family dwellings that are small enough to be cheap enough...
Where is this 40K house? Does it need 100K in repairs?
I bought mine when I was 27. Not a big house but house nevertheless. Didn't want to live in an apartment anymore. Anything is better than that.
I saved up 10k in 6 months towards a house. Saw house prices go up 50k during that same time. Said fuck it and started renting
Fair. We were looking at probably around the same time and then decided to buy a prebuild to lock the price in. By the time it was built a year and a half later it had gone up by about a 1/3rd.

work from home and move out into the forest peeps. buy a mobile home and your own land. get a camper first if needed and then save up to put the mobile home or build a actual block home. pay off your loans and credit cards. get an emergency fund. pay off your house loans. save for retirement. $$$$
I have a suggestion.
TLDR: High density, owned housing, professional management, restrictions on owning other properties.
To avoid HOAs misusing funds, allow people to own, and build high density: build apartments for sale, to be managed by corporation. Corp is funded by reasonable fees set before construction as a percentage of value of property. Apartment owners can vote to fire incompetent managers, otherwise, managers are free to choose how to effectively run complex. Salary is fixed.
To encourage a builder to take on the project, we have 20-50 people sign up to buy apartments. They have to put down a refundable deposit of $100 to get on the list, and $5000 to the builder (applies to down payment) when building starts.
Deed restrictions, created before breaking ground, prohibit ownership of an apartment by:
-
any corporation
-
any individual that owns another home or is on a corp that owns rental properties (excludes REITs if shares owned is below 5% market cap)
I wish younger generations would take over trailer parks.
