re: Someone who hates millennials, explain how this is our fault pls

Poor millennials. There are a whole 13 places in the US where they can't afford to buy a house.

There are literally hundreds of other places in the US where they can.

setting ourselves up for another housing BOOOM then bust....

As a "pussy" millenial, I'm willing to bet I work harder than many on here bashing my generation. I work my arse off from the time I sit down at my desk to the time I'm finally able to walk out the door. Each day I'm under a tight deadline to produce a ton of information. And I still make a below average wage. Do I complain? No. Because it's better than working part-time at a shite retail store with no health insurance and begging my manager for more than 20 hours.

You realize that most doctors with 20 years of medical experience can't afford the average home in San Jose, right? This has nothing to do with working harder.

The housing market used to base prices on a one-income home as women rarely worked in that time. Now with most homes being dual income, housing prices have raised to reflect that.

It also correlates with why marriages have become mroe unstable - more marriages are relying on dual incomes to do everything and if one income stream gets disrupted it causes problems.

Too busy pissing and moaning about student loans... Student loans aren't anything new...

Get a job, save money, buy a house...

then you have shitty decision making skills. You are the one who accepted the position and salary. Its not the housing markets fault you can't afford a home. Nor is it your employers. Go get a higher paying job. Maybe one not in a comfortable office. But one that pays more money. And don't bitch about your student loans. You did that too. Suck it up Buttercup! It only gets harder from here.

I agree with all your points, but its still easier said than done

I just accepted a higher paying job for more money. I am moving from Iowa to Seattle, so a portion my increase in salary will be swallowed up by the increase in cost of living. The main reason I took the job though was because I will be in a supervisory/leadership role, which is best for the long run. In the short term it would have been better for me to hold out for the same salary increase in a lower cost of living area, but I think having the supervisory role will pay off in the long run.
