@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Yeah guess my grandpa was the exception to the rule, never mind. If yall want to rewrite history go ahead. But everyone with a brain stem knows that shit flipped in the 70s lol

@KenTheManCo @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Nobody afforded a house working part time at a fucking gas station... Just like today you arnt going to afford a house working at a fucknig gas station by yourself. It takes dual income or a decent single wage... like it ALWAYS HAS.

Parasite cheat code

@MaybeUrJusWrong @zippkode @ItsHeskeyTime11 @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Im just a diesel mechanic... The side work pays well. Health and body is already deteriorating on me. You make assumptions based on preconceived notions in your head. Shadowboxing with fellow Americans because you cant believe how bad it is for them now.

Thats YOUR problem. Those were CHOICES that YOU made. Our parents went to school too or decided their careers, weighing the pros and cons. My generation and likely yours... just went to college because they were following the masses and educational propaganda that says you have to go.. not knowing even what you wanted to do. Then you got a degree in some random something that you were half interested in. Half of you dont even have a fucking job in the degree you got. Schooling was fucking dumb, you should have done something else that didnt take 100k$ for a worthless piece of paper and you would have likely been making the sme or more money and actually had something to show for it... Instead people bitch about their own doing and then blame everyone else for their woes... Thats you... you dont listen to anyone else, you are just trying to make yourself feel better.

@zippkode @MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Okay did a google search for gas station jobs over in the area ot the house in Illinois. One payed 33k a year but the bank said i need 55k for the loan. Don't forget grandpa bought 3 cars while paying off his mortgage and was able to afford having 4 kids.

@KenTheManCo @MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Move to a place comparable to where those folks living comfortably on a gas station salary lived, yes

@trulyobjective @TheEricGoldman To ultimate replace with the same regime, congratulations.

To the contrary, that president was the one to end the support of the Maduro regime. The next president did nothing to resolve the issues with Venezuela, therefore Trump came back into office, removed Maduro and restored relations with Venezuela. This just goes to show how little the previous administration did in 4 years.

Oh shit, sounds like whoever was president 7 years ago really fucked things up!

@zippkode @MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Just move to small towns where they dont even want you and your job prospects are dismal.

@KenTheManCo @MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Not comfortably, no. If you want a life like theirs, you can still have it cheaply.

@bubby_max @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok Again if you want to point to one off situation for your justification thats fine. Generally people dont see owning a house as a risky investment. Perhaps there is the fact that risk is subjective. Some people skydive, while more people do not. This disagreement was pedantic.

@KenTheManCo @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok Also a reminder about my original statement

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Yeah grandma and grandpa could survive comfortably on grandpa one income working at the gas station but just ignore that fact and look to yourselves as being the reason why your life sucks even when compared to the past. Whatever bro.

Firstly, theres not 50 million people looking to buy a house in the US at any given time... Currently theres about 1.5m people looking to buy, with over 2 million houses on the market. Buyers dont buy just whatever they can afford, reasonably... they want what suits them... what their dream is. Unfortunately, a lot of people have visions of grandure and will not accept something that is not perfect. "This house is too small" i see a lot of families say, for perfectly reasonably sized houses... 1250-1500sqft... They want large houses. Large houses cost more money... The average "middle class" house went in the 80s from 1600sqft to 2025's 2500sqft... There are a whole host of reasons and data points that should be taken in when talking about the cost of housing and why someone can or cant afford one. If everyone was financially reasonable and people wernt pushed into an ideology that would make someone demand having an M class while working part time at McDonalds... there would be a lot less complaining about pricing.

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 I was being conservative....

@bubby_max @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok Everybody knows of the 2008 housing crisis. But a one time event doesnt prove that investing in residential property is all of a sudden a bad investment. It would be like saying the S&P is a bad investment because it goes down sometimes 🤣

@KenTheManCo @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok What do you call this portion of your graph?

@bubby_max @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok Here brother, go ahead show me what you got. I found that in 5 seconds. Im intuition is normally right in these things. If im wrong im not scared to admit it. Im not being paid to hold the beliefs I have so fuck it.

@KenTheManCo @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok You provided evidence that real estate is a risk free investment? Lol

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 So how many of the 50 million americans are we going to fit in the one house in a town of roughly 4000 people? I know humans have a hard time with scale but try to engage with this debate in good faith when you make a half assed claim like this.

@KenTheManCo @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34

@MaybeUrJusWrong @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Its what the graph was illustrating for us to begin with!!!! How are people so fucking dense. No dude gohead and send me a screenshot of how wages back then equal 80k and how to even be qualified to buy the median home you need 114k to even get the fucking loan. Jesus.

@KenTheManCo @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Tell me you dont know what Buying Power is (or know what you are even talking about in the first place) without telling me.

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Its almost like inflation + buying power equal everyone under 40 is priced out of the housing market pretty crazy indeed.

@ItsHeskeyTime11 @KenTheManCo @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Huh... its almost like they made the same amount of money in 1980, as they do today... pretty crazy!

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 POV: you google the claims

@ItsHeskeyTime11 @KenTheManCo @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 IDK why people make these bold claims that they hear on retarded tiktok videos, without at least googling for 30 seconds to see if its correct or not. Willful ignorance is rampant these days.

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Lmao again youre defending this shit like your paid for it to stay shitty my guy.

@ItsHeskeyTime11 @KenTheManCo @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34

@MaybeUrJusWrong @ItsHeskeyTime11 @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34

@ItsHeskeyTime11 @KenTheManCo @zippkode @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34

@MaybeUrJusWrong @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 Yep wonder how they managed its almost like theybused to have more buying power. If you want to discount people's struggles today with anecdotal bullshit and an iron will to continue the grift go-ahead and continue to look down on the peasants. Never quit the grift my friend.

25% on average yearly, yes. That is common for the last 30 years and likely back to about 40 years. It was not as high in the 70s and 80s, due to absolutely bonkers interest rates which would kill any sort of profit seeking. In the 70s and 80s they had 10-20% interest rates, hovering 13-16% for a very longperiod of time. So, not likely to have 25% back then, but this also applied to normal buyers?? So the houses were similarly priced as today 180-250k typical home today with the typical home being 40-80k back then... which is equiv to today. pretty much. Except they had double the interest rate today and still double the interest rate at the peak... from our covid peak. So people complaining about being priced out of payments is a joke... our parents did it.

@bubby_max @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok Okay well ive provided you with evidence that supports my claims. You've basically said "nuh uh" so forget it bro. Believe what you want to believe right or wrong? Believe like your being paid to believe what I you do. I no longer care.

@KenTheManCo @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok This statement that real estate always goes up in value is incorrect x.com/KenTheManCo/st…

@LiberCanuck I was being sarcastic, I know it gets lost in text so sorry for the country fusion. Those banker fucks should have been hung to dry, completely agree with you.

@KenTheManCo We should never bail out any banks, we need them to learn their lessons the hard way. Yea there are still investment buyers but lending conditions have been much tighter than the 2008 era.

@bubby_max @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok Im curious is your problem that I called it risk free? Or do you disagree on the artificially inflated house prices caused by investor buyers?

@bubby_max @carnivorechris1 @mcsquared34 @grok The logic is flawed. You need to ask first; why a huge population of under 40 years olds are no longer able to participate in the market. The trend of older home buyers is certainly a new trend. Anythings value is driven by market forces and speculation.
