Like, I’ll admit I got a bit lucky. I was able to buy a house at 25. The house was under 90k in a mid size town. That same house about a decade later is about 2x that price now. May salary hasn’t really doubled during that time, so I’d struggle to afford that house now.
This is why the conservative mindset of “They didn’t work hard enough to deserve a good life” is total bullshit. Their worldview would only make sense if the world was fair and everyone was on an even playing field. Judging people who make $30k/yr for not “earning” their right to exist through hard work while ignoring the parasitic Epstein class which has fought to keep wages stagnant, keep healthcare privatized, unaffordable, and tied to employment, kill regulations that prevent corporate abuses of power, and prevent the real estate market from being fair to the people who actually work for a living instead of running up profit margins at those very same people’s expense by cutting corners is just rich, pun intended.
