Nice read, thank you.

Ah the days when you could be a delivery truck driver and buy a house… Not so much for us anymore.

But why buy/build one if mortgages are cheap?
At $2571 in pocket per month it'll take a while to save that deposit when median rent in that location is apparently $1500 for an apartment,let alone the fact you'll need a car and all your other bills (medical insurance in America I guess).
Then you'll have $500 left over after paying your mortgage every month. Somehow I don't think that's liveable.
Not everyone can crash with their parents while they save a deposit. Not everyone has a partner that works too. Some people have or want to have children. Not everyone works in tech, but boy am I glad I do...least until the machines take over.
Leaves $6,000/y or $500/m for everything else. Feels... Precarious.
