    Ha. I knew the fediverse was full of you old bastards. … So who’s got a house that’s nearly paid off? I find that very hot.

      I think you’ll have to look in the retirement segment for that. Us millennials had a bunch of trouble getting into the housing market but I think were eventually able to with parental help; we’re likely currently managing some mortgages OK.

      The generations after us seem less able to get into the housing market even with parental aid. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, it’s not like a housing crisis could destabilise politics in general or anything.

      It’s also falling apart and needs a new roof and probably 50k worth of various repairs done on top of that. I am also getting slowly taxed out of my neighborhood.

        Same here except the being tax out of the neighborhood part. Also we have new windows and roof. But still need siding, painting, and inside needs lots of work.

      Bought around 12 years ago. Original plan was to live there for about 5 years and then get something bigger, make kids and rent my small house. So I financed it with low payments that it would be no financial burden for me.

      Then I got busy, did not find a house I liked until all prices exploded. Here I am now: Although I earn much more I’m too poor to buy something bigger, while feeling guilty knowing how cheap my house was back then. It’s really fucked up.
