1. I’m overpaid
2. I’m good at my job relative to you at yours
3. My industry is just more lucrative (go to 1)
4. I work harder than you

If someone this ignorant can have a 300K income then a lot of us are under achieving.
For whatever reason this reminds me of the story about the recruiter for Meta (IIRC) who was hired at well over 200k and didn’t really do anything and was explicitly told that she wasn’t even expected to produce any candidates in her first year hahaha.
Like man I fricked up somewhere in my life.

Young people aren't saving like they should
Are young people saving less relative to the young people in generations before? And the answer is no, they are in line with the savings of younger generations before them, however their cost of goods is far greater than the generations before them

Doubtful. I could probably run circles around you. And my income would be comparable to yours in your region.

Better try hard to get in now before values explode even more when rates drop

Right. Really smart to buy at the worst possible time. Prices are slowly going down in my market and rates aren't going down significantly soon.

This fareplay guy has been on quite the heater of larping online recently with all this fake stuff he posts.

Wait for the crash they said. Prices will go down they said. Just wait 6 months they said.
Y’all keep waiting for everyone to list those homes with mortgages at 2.5% to get supply up so that prices drop, it’ll happen soon I’m sure.

It’s not crashing. I remember going to a wedding in the Dallas area in 2019 and discussing with the couple sitting next to me their run up in property value and wether it would hold. Clearly it only went up from there.

4. I work harder than you
I don't work. I fish, hunt and occasionally experience an altered state of consciousness.
And still out-earn all but the OT ballers.
Why is working so hard such a big flex? I've worked hard for years at a time and taking er easy is much more enjoyable.

Well we all know how this shite is going to end. Hopefully, I can sell my house before the bottom falls out and eventual crash, or do you guys thing suddenly the average salaries are going to go up enough to fix it.
What we really need is a fricking bank crash

The best time to buy real estate is 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.

When the commercial real estate market completely craters in the next 2 years you’ll get your wish.
People thinking this housing bubble will maintain are not capable of looking at the big picture. We are at an inflection point where cash will once again be proven to be king.

Luckily their father has fixed many old houses and will be retired so I'll have time. They just need to be willing to put in the sweat equity and I'll help them. Then longer term, they do like I did: turn it into a rental and then upgrade.
I worry for my kids and what they will face when he hits the real world.
Boomer checking in, lotsa boomer trashing in this thread.
Unlike some of my peers, I DO see how housing is much more expensive as a percentage of income these days compared to when I was younger, along with everything else.
But my kids will have the advantage of my experience and skills to help them (not necessarily financially).

80 household should be enough
80k household income leaves about $2450 for PITI.
I don't know what current rates are. But it is just a matter of saving enough down-payment to hit the $2450 PITI. The larger the down-payment, the better the mortgage terms (lower interest rate and better PMI).
I've been eying condos in North Atlanta between $175k to $225k. Saving money is hard. But prioritize the down-payment over retirement and the new car and it definitely comes.
And as the new home appreciates, that is equity to put down towards the next purchase.
