Average rent in the US is $1,740 a month. You have to work 87 hours of a 160 hour work month to make that on $20 an hour. Then you have to pay for food, and fuel, and insurance, and utilities...No wonder everyone is so poor
>>62105137Quiet paypigs, get back to work
>>62105137i had a roommate for 5 years and now i have my own house.
I am literally medically retard and I make $39/h. Any non retard person should be make at least $60/h, is not that hard if you are not retard.
>>62105137US salaries are 150K+ so who the fuck cares? just save up for a few years and you can buy a million dollar house retard
>he doesn’t work 40 hours a dayNgmi
>>62105148Have you ever considered the fact that the reason you integrate so easily into the workforce is precisely because you are retarded? No? Well that’s because you’re retarded.
>>62105144Yeah but where?Location location location Anyone can own a house
>>62105149Only 2.5% of Americans are millionaires
>>62105176a nice part of Connecticut. good luck.
>>62105137the zoomers trying to normalise living in their vehicles, because they're so fucking poor, will enter the thread any time now
Oh havent you heard? All you have to do is>live with random people youve never met before>stop buying loaves of avocado toast>work 14 hours a day>move out to bumfuck nowhere>drive an hour to work>eat rice and beans every night>never buy anything>work on your car every day>go to all the trade schools>give up your foreskinI mean its really not hard our parents did it by 28 im not sure why its taking us so long. We must be lazy.
>>62105188>>62105190Fucking kek. Like clockwork. How did he know bros
>>62105137Get a roommate, dumbass. That's how Boomers and Gen X did it.
>>62105190>I mean its really not hard our parents did it by 28We did it by>live with random people youve never met before>stop buying loaves of avocado toast>work 8 hours a day>eat ramen every night>never buy anything>work on your car every dayezpz. Just requires a bit of self discipline, that your generation seems to lack because it is entitled and narcissistic>im not sure why its taking us so long. We must be lazyalso entitled and narcissistic
>>62105183Go to a good part in LA. That’s wealth.
>>62105137>averageMeaningless statistic, median rent is what you want to worry about, retard.
>boomers owe me a luxurious house in a high-demand location
>>62105137My sweet old landlady wants $450 a month to rent her two story bungalow w/ basement while she lives in a single story house a block away better suited for active seniors & I haven't seen her since last May. Suckle my testes.
>>62105500you're a rentcuck, you're the one sucking dick. RENT IS DUE
>>62105511Checked, the rent's due when I get around to it. Cope.
>>62105137If you wanted to buy a house, what you were supposed to do is rent a room in your twenties while aggressively saving for a 20% down payment so you don't have to live around a bunch of loser shitheads anymore.Why would you spend 20+ years renting if you wanted to own a home?
>>62105148I’m actually stupid as fuck and basically mentally retarded. I’m a pretty good actor though and have gotten good pretending to be smart. Make 125k
>>62105137I retired a millionaire in my 30s without issue
>>62105137My rent is $900/mo and I split it with a roommate.Not my problem.
>>62105137Kinda bullshit. If you're too broke to be able to afford rent, then share the rent with other people. That cuts your spending in half, or in a third, or even better. Get a girlfriend or a boyfriend and move in together. It's not that difficult.
>>62105190When I was in my mid-20s I was working in IT consulting, being shipped off to random other states and being given an apartment to live in (paid by the company) and a "per diem" for food and other expenses. Git gud.
>>62105137>I wanted to be a single sex and the city slut instead of a stay at home girlSoup served with all flavours you wanted, bitch.
why did this woman leave her home at 18?>>62105190yea if you want something you might need to work...
>>62105873>retards talking about "When i was young"You people have no fucking clue how fast the demographics have changedNothing is the same
>>62105137The average is jocked up by idiots that dont do their research and try to cling to shitty overpriced areas.>>62105866Sharing rent with a girlfriend/boyfriend is fine but with a friend or even just a random person is stupid. If they lose their job, you are likely to get abused.Some people though should just face the music that they shouldnt be moved away from their parents.
>>62106089> shitty overpriced areas.No such thing. Places are expensive for a reason.
>>62106089>overpricedThose areas are high demand. No such thing as overpriced when you’re actually talking about nice place in a big city away from trash. Luxury home areas are always pricey.
>>62105873ameriburgan millenial software engineers are unironically the boomers of their generation times tenyou got the easiest ride of history by far. circumstances differ now
>>62105137LET THE GOYIMDEALIN
>>62105188That was me for the earlier part of my 20s, will be 27 soon. It really isn't worth it unless you do it for years, get a house from it or make an insane amount of money hourly to justify it.
>>62105737>>62105253My roommates are Nogs and one seems to be synchronized to my bowel schedule so he always beats me to the shitter naturally like 15 mins before I have to go and I have to enter his worm domain expansion. It fucking sucks bros. 37 and can't flush the toilet properly. Always uses my toilet paper. Leaves it a mess and the outside area a mess. Asked me for $5 the other day, needed it for his Uber eats. Better than being homeless I guess.
>>62106250grim
>>62105137I voted for this
>>62106196>>62106203>No such thing as shitty overpriced areasLol&lmaoAnon did you know by any chance that apartments commonly like to require you to make 3x the rent? So for my pic for example in the middle of some worthless fucking city unironically wants you to make 6 grand a month to move in?If nots not shitty and overpriced youre fucking retarded and I shudder because you probably habve a car mortgage.
>>62106373Overpriced how? Landlords ask that much cause people make that much.
>>62106395>landlords ask that much because people make that muchHow about charging for a rate based on expenses instead of literal rent seeking? Its too bad inflation for a century+ has everyone scrambling to understand how much USD is (not) worth for goods and services anymore
>>62106250Wtf...My roommate is based and has almost the exact personality as me. Neither of us want people in our apartment. We're both organized and clean. We both like similar music. We both cook and neither of us care if the other uses ingredients the other bought, because if one of us cooks, we just cook for both of us. We both go to the gym. And we work opposite shifts, so one of is is always home.
>>62105137This is the lament of a woman who just hit the wall. She is seeing how empty her party life has been, her unfulfilling make-believe HR job isn't the thrilling career feminism promised her, a diminishing number of guys are willing to buy her dinner, she is starting to get seriously fat or wrinkled or both. She is seeing how her life choices have driven her into a cul-de-sac, how her golden years are over, and now she wants to blame "the economy". Weep your heart out, strong, independent woman.
>>62105873greetings dipshit, you still receive a lot less than you would've during your parents time. congrats, you're a high ranking peasant in boomerville.
>>62105190>live with random people youve never met beforeDUDE JUST SIGN A JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH TOTAL STRANGERS LMAO
>>62105873overnight travel for work is the most humiliating wagecuckery imaginable.
I thought paying rent is based and totally the financial better option? Oh no no
>>62106672it is. op is just a women with their usual girl math problems.
>>62106672depends on your lifestyle and goals. if you're a high earning sperg it makes more sense to rent because the comparison is 1 bedroom rent vs 3-4 bedroom house with a mortgage. if you're a sperg what are you doing with the extra 2-3 bedrooms? nothing. you're better off investing the difference between $1700/mo rent vs. $2500/mo mortgage.
>>62106250that's hilarious and tragic anon, good luck out there
>>62105137You shouldn't consider moving out of your parents home until your earning at least $50/hr. I earn $95k/yr but I still sleep in my childhood bedroom.
>>62106904>I don't wanna grow up I'm a toys-r-us kidStunning and brave anon. Your parents must be proud.
why do they allow these threads on both biz and pol? no one cares about the content, so why? just prune them. it will make the board a better place. there's an entire board for humanities and economics where they can discuss it endlessly. why here?
>>62105149>US salaries are 150K+ so who the fuck cares?People with degrees, even technical ones, are lucky to get $50k a year jobs at the moment. People stop letting social media rape your mind.
>>62105137just get a high-paying remote job, and this won't be a problem
>>62107569>>People with degrees, even technical ones, are lucky to get $50k a year jobs at the moment.skill issue
>>62106250Yo anon, can I get like 5 dollars bro?
I used to think the system was truly unfair and there was no way to get ahead until I saw how little effort the average person puts into learning marketable skills and financial literacy. Even when I made 55k/yr I still saved a good chunk of my income by not buying stupid shit. I make over double that now and never fell for the lifestyle creep so I still save about 50% after mortgage. Qrd: the average normie is a fucking retard who will kvetch and squeal in order to place zero blame on themselves
>>62107569>how little effort the average person puts into learning marketable skills Ive never seen that at all. Its just that people dont want to do free labor and dodge the fuck out of the mess that is our schooling system. I mean look at this shit, if you have zero interest in being a code monkey a lot of this is just worthless garbagebin demoralization.>>62107569>People stop letting social media rape your mind.TRVTH. Ive seen many a people make their lives get extremely uncomfortable trying to get their number to go up and god damn is it sad.
>>62112593most humble anon on this board
>>62105148>>62105642Why do you retards conveniently never state what job title/field you're working in and whether you're in a HCOL or not?
Why complain about home owners and not amazon? Dumb ho
>>62113031Because they are ALWAYS lying.
>>62106522I have news for you, bud.
>>62105280>Wanting to live in Spicfornia
>>62105137I rent. I also rent out my own house. The rent I receive from my tenent covers my own rent and then some. Then on top of that I have the entirety of my salary. If you aren't willing to play the game then stay at the bottom of the ladder. Someone has to be down there anyway, its not a bad thing.
