It’s fucking insane. With the exception of a few of my peers, we’re all highly skilled, some with over a decade of experience, some with two incomes, and there’s no way any of us can afford to buy a house in the area we work anymore. The only ones who did bought their houses right after school with help from their parents. Rent sure, own a home, not a chance here. So either rent forever, commute more, live with our parents, or find another job. It’s a rock and a hard place.
Doing better than my boomer parents? Hahahahaha
I’ll settle for just doing better than a majority of my millennial peers.
GenX checking in to say: Same.
