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?

    Got it. So when I also limit my exposure to cost increases by switching to a cheaper grocery store, I’m “investing” in groceries.

    Ridiculous.

      No, that’s just being frugal. Not spending money on something is not investing. Grocery example would be buying in bulk; you pay more for something upfront because it’s going to be cheaper on the long run.
