Do the math - Median house price, median wage of a 20-something, median cost of living.
How would an average 20-something achieve this without assistance?
It’s not impossible, but do you think that’s what we should be shooting for as the leaders of the developed world - you win with intergenerational wealth or a snowball’s chance in hell? Have a little more pride in your country and be less cucked by the interests of those that have ransacked the economy.
I just pointed this out to someone else here, but how I see it, doomer-propaganda like this comic is exactly what keeps the status quo. Making young people scared enough to not even try to improve their situation is exactly what keeps their positions untouched.
I mean we here had this same type a sentiment shoved down our throats, press talking about how impossible it is for young people out there. That was true to me, until I tried out and learned that nah, it aint that bad. Badder than what it used to be, for sure, but not that bad at all.
If you look at the data, the problem is objectively not young people.
I’m about to buy a house in a market where median property value has risen 6x faster than median income since the 70s, meaning I’m being lectured by people who took out a 30 year mortgage to pay off what I’ll have to drop as my deposit (relative to median income). I’m also bidding against the beneficiaries of that capital growth now that they’re downsizing, and my generation’s survival relies on us paying to correct the environmental vandalism they’ve done too.
This is intergenerational class war that’s stomping the brakes on the economy as the majority pours everything they have into keeping a roof over their heads. I’m glad you managed it, but things are dark, and we should be doing better.
Thanks for the good comment!
Never said it was.
Glad that’s on you radar and you seem committed to it! But is it necessary to buy a property from exactly where the prices have skyrocketed like that? Maybe you do due to work-related issues or something that I don’t know and doesn’t really concern me, but it’s something to think about. Though the folk in this thread have made it look like Finnish property prices have stagnated since the war, that is not the case it some areas where the pricing is absurd but I just didn’t move there, simple as.
That’s true and I wish you the best of luck in beating them. Just think of the mad landlord who got fucked over by a millennial scrub and you’ll get to sleep your nights good.
I wouldn’t perhaps go that guillotinie on it, but yeah, what motivates me is causing trouble and havoc among the people I dislike, landlords being one of them. And if I won the bidding war for this house against someone looking to rent it, I know my cock will stay hard for years to come, and I can’t wait to do it again, and I will no matter what encourage people to try to do it too.
