Single-income households aren't some long lost relic of the ages. Plenty of people have living parents that prospered during that time.

I bought in 2005-ish. Even though I had a decent job, I wouldn't have been offered a mortgage big enough to afford anything describable as a house on my own.

I can't imagine much has changed since then, and it wasn't a new thing. Women weren't seen as stay at home housewives in 2000.

We're not talking about 20 years ago ya dingus

Also, don't assume nothing has changed, because they most certainly did

Sorry, I didn't realise 20 years wasn't long enough ago to spunk out a whiny gen Z-er.

[-] beardown@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

They're talking about the 90s and prior, and really are talking about the 70s and prior

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly. My parents bought on a single income.

Why do you assume you're talking to 20 year olds

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Are 20 year old not "people in their 20s"?

[-] arefx@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

You must be young...... lol

[-] ech@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Ok? Congrats to you. Turns out you're not who's being talked about right now, as shocking as that may seem.
