Every time you pass go you pay $200 for your student loans. You don't go to jail, you go back to living with your parents.

By pretty much all measures - yeah. It is. Why would you trust what Congress says on anything?

The sarcasm is hard to read these days isn't it...sorry, shoulda put a (s) in there.

A lot of economists would agree with congress. Google "08 recession didn't end" or something. At least form your own opinion that way.

Yeah, once you have an annual income over 55k, the tax office takes 5% of your salary until the debt is payed.

How about a millennial edition of "life" in which you bitch and moan and blame everyone else for your problems then tweet instead of working

I'm 27 and just bought my 2nd house. I still own the first as an investment. But I totally agree with you and I'm sick of hearing them bitch

Yes, no one should have even one second of free time in which they can do something besides work.

There are plenty of millennials working and achieving. It's just that they're too busy living to complain about life on social media.

Right. I work a 50 hours a week hard labor. I take pride in it.

Just because it takes you eight hours to figure out how to tweet, doesn't mean millennials are taking the same amount of time.

How old do you think I am?

Old enough to think complaining about those younger than you, as though their behavior is in any way a new trend, makes you insightful.

how about a gen X version of "Life" where you give medals to kids who don't succeed, then proceed to complain that the kids grew up 1/2

How old do you think I am?

Obviously pretty damn old if you're buggering about "Millenials"
ProfessorSteven
I'm very amused that my comment about millennials bitching and moaning online has prompted the millennials to bitch and moan online.

Oh, no! Young people are expressing that they have different opinions about mine! better go complain and make it on the next cringe dump!

Well to be fair student loans can be much as a mortgage payment, I did the military route and it solves all these problems, got school/VA

My wife and I have a 2000 sq ft 4/2. My student loans are more than my mortgage.

Also got a 401k started at 18 which is HUGE, millineals also suck with money, no you don't need the new "insert crap here"

Well to be fair stop taking out goddamn student loans

If you find your self looking down on people below you on the economic ladder chances are your being manipulated by those above you.

Not trying to be a dick but there is a problem with the system that needs to be addressed like wage stagnation and tuition inflation.

Stop taking out loans. Some asshole raises the price of grapes by 800%, I don't take out a loan. I stop buying grapes.

It's cheaper to buy a house then rent an apartment.
RandomActOfConfusion
$1.2k for a one bedroom apt where I work. about $800 for a 3 bedroom house... wut?
AllDemCanadianBones
When something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Haunted at the least. Next to a homeless shelter at the worst.
Glumerlink
cheaper? nah, lots of hidden costs. Not only that but if you lose your job and you can't get another where you live you're kinda fucked
Pandaphant
Also why would you rent an apartment if you already bought a house?
finckle71
Yea what an idiot, right?
GrizzlyWicks
well a morgage for me starts with £15,000 my rent is 400 so...
SDWeasel
Mine's about 59,500 (GBP) and my monthy is just under 500. It was a foreclosure on a dead market without city utilities or cable access.
iguessihaveto
Sorta? I mean, you also become responsible for all utilities and maintenance with a house, which when added to a mortgage payment can be 1
iguessihaveto
Significantly more expensive. And a lot depends on how good your credit is. If you have little or bad credit the rates go way up and you 2
iguessihaveto
May not qualify for enough to get a house in good repair. Renting can be a better deal for people just starting out or with student loans.
Zucheto
Cheapest mortgage here is about $1300 to $1400 in any non ghetto areas. My rent is $965.
NotTheRealSource
If you plan on living at said house long enough for it to become an investment, otherwise that money is better spent on a portfolio
Sendhelpimstuck
Buying a house forces people to invest. They invest in the house. Those who rent, should put extra cash to investments i.e shares or others
falconram
Assuming you have anything leftover....

Bought my first apartment, currently 24 god damn years old... Been renting at my parents basement far to long. Can confirm, prices are big

Depending entirely on where you leave. In most large cities in the US that isn't the case.
HessianGhost
No. It's true everywhere. Rent pays the landlord's mortgage. But that doesn't mean everyone can get a loan. Being poor is expensive.
bendap
*live
ooooweeee
Uh depends on where you live. In the Bay Area where I live, just property tax alone on a house would surpass my rent payment.
kgbofficer
Even in places where the price isn't so high, mortgage payments would be cheaper but my apartment has free utilities: elec, heat, water, etc
masochisticgiggler
Yay bay area! *high fives and sobs at the truth*

It's not even just about the cost of housing. In general all goods are more expensive now than they ever have been before. Look at groceries

Since you put it like that ok.

Move, then spend 1/2 your day & money travelling to and from work. Time & money that could be saved for a deposit or spent on education?

It's expensive to live in populated areas, accept it or move.
MakeMeStarlit
Pls explain bc this is what i want to do
Sephority
Paying rental fees, you can save and afford a larger or better home or amenities later on. 2/2
Sephority
Renting is making payment after payment adding up to a supposed greater amount than the total price of a home. While in the home, not 1/
MakeMeStarlit
Thanks, so is there a diff in the price per month for renting a house vs apt?
Sephority
Yeah I'm sure. It depends on the place though. Gotta put in the research time.
Rhiannonmclyr
OMFG. I am so sick of this BS platitude. This was true 15 years ago. If you bought your house before then , fan-bloody-tastic.
TheBatman
No it's still true and proven. A house is one of the best investment you can make. Especially now. Interest rates are at an all time low
RRDFree
Interest rates are actually increasing the past two months....Wonder why..
TheBatman
From 3.5 to 4 average. Still very very low. Its legit the best time to buy ever. Ten years ago it it was 8-10 percent. And that was low then
AllDemCanadianBones
I was always taught if I can't afford something without loans and credit, it's not worth risking my neck.
killernerd
you are right, but you still need to have the initial money-pile to make that investment though. no money means no loan means no house
TheBatman
That's why do something like an FHA loan of USDA. USDA Is 0 down and fha is 3.5 percent. Very low.

Get this, if you don't make enough money banks won't let you finance a house! Crazy.
OldIronsides
The only way to convince a bank to give you a loan, is to convince them that you don't need it...
Cere4l
banks wont even let me loan money to get a house where id have to pay less to the debts than to rent...

You honestly don't have to make tons of money especially if it's dual income to buy a house. For things like USDA they have maximum you 1/2
imjusthereforthemoneynotyourbs
Ahh see that duel income thing is the trick. Well for me anyway.
shibaweebas
Same. Home buying is really set for an income of 2 professionals these days. If you don't make enough, it's difficult to find any housing.
imjusthereforthemoneynotyourbs
I've found homes for one hundred fifty thousand, but to get them into liveable condition it'd take another 200,000.
TheBatman
2/2 you can make. You could probably get a 130k loan making 35k a year by your self with decent credit. Source: I sell homes.
mousemarie94
130k gets you nothing in most places I've ever lived. Sad reality.
