If they saved enough for a house in three years, either they have a highly lucrative job or they’re in a market where homes are cheap or some combination of the two.

3 years is definitely a good amount of time to get a solid down payment. It's not like a 25-year-old is going to buy a house with cash.

Are you suggesting Anon lied???

Either they work oil wells in bumfuck South Dakota or they are a SRE with a Silicon Valley company.

Or they don't live in the US at all. Wild concept, but entertain it for a second

It was a shitpost my dude. Their country flag is literally visible in the OP pic.

I wonder if the Portuguese flag was some sort of clue hmm

My area, you can get a house for 100k, a better one for 200k. If you're saving most all income from a 75k job like programming, seems reasonable to be able to afford a house in that timeframe. But that's with very very little spending and still pretty cheap houses.

Where do you live that houses are 100-200k and programmers make 75k?

The UK? Sounds about right in GBP.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
