Born too early to explore the stars
I think you misspelled "Born too early to slave your life away in an extractive space colony shithole owned by a space fief, thank fuck".
Space was always a place of wonder, curiosity, beauty, and new beginnings. Though I suppose it was fruitless to hope humanity would leave their crap on Earth.
Space late stage capitalism and war, anyone? Hopefully not...

I'm literally right now looking at job prospects way out in the boonies in random states because the only "reasonably" priced houses are 2526251847352 miles from civilization and even then some of these I've seen are absolute fucking jokes: "tear down house, amazing potential! $150,000 please!" 70 miles from any job prospects... Go fuck yourself.
As for the Big Brains suggesting "just be a couple then." Some of us aren't exactly desirable and I refuse to marry someone for purely financial reasons, I want to, you know, actually love the person I marry...

Sadly, some are:
So it came as no surprise when a new study by CIA Landlord recently revealed that Tinder users who specify that they own a property in their profile receive 57% more matches than those who don’t.

🎶Not because I own property🎶

Handyman's dream! Built on an easement in the 1930s on this wonderful 0.01 acre lot. Orignal lead paint included. Must wave inspection and sold as-is. Only $200,000 and it's yours!
HOA rate: $650/month.
5 sqft.

you can thank State Street, Blackrock and Vanguard for buying up the American dream to rent it to you forever. Democrats are trying to limit this by stopping hedge funds from buying homes, which are for families.
When do we start to see corporate assassinations? At what point do we see people start to fight back? We are slowly slipping into full on 'subscription' based lives. They are stealing our children's future away, one home at a time. Essentially turning our economy into slavery 2.0
Because of the extreme prices and demand for homes, my apartment rent went up 24% in October. They are literally taking half my income now. Half my life belongs to this one multi-billion dollar corporation now. The other half goes to my other living expenses. I make double the average American and I am basically a slave already
It's 2030, you own nothing and you are happy
I'm 30 years old and still don't have my own apartment. Being rendered homeless in your teenage years fucking sucks, and things onæy seem to get progressively more inaccessible.
Wish there was more time and willingness to break this down and embark on individual solutions.
Nah keep scrolling
I was going to break this down and start to detail solutions, but I’m late for work. Maybe later…
Sorry, no time. Gotta watch all the youtubes and read all the books and listen to all the podcasts and... fuck I'm hungry ah
You may still get a chance to explore the stars one day, it'll just be in VR.
Born just in time to doomer post on Lemmy
Try being a couple then. Your parents couldn't afford a house on their own either.
They most certainly did lol.
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.
They're talking about the 90s and prior, and really are talking about the 70s and prior
Exactly. My parents bought on a single income.
Why do you assume you're talking to 20 year olds
Are 20 year old not "people in their 20s"?
You must be young...... lol
Ok? Congrats to you. Turns out you're not who's being talked about right now, as shocking as that may seem.
Ok boomer
My father was the only one who worked, in a trade. My mother just stayed home, she had no income. I do the same trade as he did, my money does not go as far. I'm almost 40 and can't afford a house. My father bought one with the same job as me when he was 28. Oh and I took your shit advice anyway and have a SO and it's still out of reach.
Thats what they want you to think 😹

wait
Someone should start !drosteeffect somewhere.
No, odds are your parents didn't buy a house in their 20s. Certainly it wasn't common. And once they did, it was likely a small house. And it's starting to piss me off that young adults think it was common.
- We (GenX) were 30 in a MCOL area, but with very good paying careers.
- My (boomer) parents were 35 when they finally got to buy a house in a LCOL area - and it was a real fixer upper that hadn't been lived in for 2 years.
- Their (Silent/Greatest) parents didn't buy a house until they were in their mid-30s in a M/HCOL area. On my mom's side it was a 800ish sqft duplex with 1 bathroom where they raised 3 kids. Father's side hadbit more room (maybe 1300ish) but still 1 bathroom and 3 kids.
And up to the point where we did buy a house, I always lived with roommates. There was only a couple month period where I ever lived by myself in an apartment, and it was a stretch, and I was glad (financially anyway) when I got a roommate again.
Neither of my parents ever lived alone l. They lived at home until they got married and rented together. Same for all my grandparents.
Ha I feel this
