Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 month agoI usually hear people say US wages are great, and yet we managed to buy a house in our 20s when I was on near UK minimum wage. That was a couple of years ago as I am not in my 20s anymore. But I can still save up hundreds a month without even trying very hard.
No degree, no driving licence. The internet gave me the impression it wasn’t this easy. I would acknowledge only having unstable work at best must suck a lot more though.

I live in a European capital, and house prices have outpaced wages a long time ago.

Capital cities are always more expensive though

Yeah that doesn’t take away from how they shouldn’t be. The only reason they are expensive is because we are not responding to the rising demand because regulation prevents it causing speculation exacerbated by mortgage subsidies.
