Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.
ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 3 days agoWhat is “way over average” i know people in their late 20s that are buying houses on salties of like 80k-120k. I make like 45ish on average, but people my age are buying houses
53% above average of my country.
Buying a house without signing up for a lifetime crippling dept is plain impossible in large cities.
To get into a cost range where my wife (same salary) and I feel comfortable to take on a loan requires us to move roughly one or two hours train travel out into the countryside.
Yeah, the debt is kind of just a given these days. My friends that have houses have 30 year mortgages. I personally prefer renting because i have pretty severe wander lust and hop around every few years

I mean, we live in the metro of a big city and the house my roommate bought was 400k. 20 minute commute downtown.
