In the US I've never spent more than a year's salary on a home. Certain areas of the country are far more affordable than others.

I interpret this as you either make less than $60k and live in an absolute shit hole or you make more than $120k and have no right to speak about affordable areas of the country.

$60k will get you a liveable house in certain parts of the country. Even in walkable, friendly, safe towns. The problem is that they're not near jobs that pay more than $8/hr. I was lucky to get a fully remote job before Covid and bought a tiny 800 sqft cottage for a year's salary. I just checked and see that homes of that size are still just as cheap in that town.

Oh it’s a shithole. Southeast Ohio has houses so cheap you wouldn’t believe it. But you have to live in southeast Ohio.

You could actually probably get a compound going there…

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.
