I know I'm supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like... I wouldn't be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it's scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

Absolutely! I only just bought my first house, which means I have a bit of a higher mortgage, but a house is simply a tool for survival.

Yes, owning a house shouldn't had ever been the end goal for 90% of the population. We should've solved housing for all people on earth a hundred years ago FFS! But we were too busy industrializing war and sending kids to die.
