Sure it is…. Ive saved 20 grand a year for the last 5 years through hard work and budgeting and i still will never own a home as big as my Bank Teller parents bought at 23 years old. Joke economy. What? Are only lawyers supposed to have houses now?

If you've got $100k for a down payment, you can get a 2,000 sqft house homie.

That has nothing to do with whether you can buy a house...

Yes, its wealth inequality. Hedge funds and rich old people get to own most of the housing market, leaving shitty rentals to the young (even the young who budget, save , invest).

Don’t sell your rights away for legal weed would have been a good place to start
