Better advice would be to build equity in a starter home, marry a woman who did the same, and then use the equity you both built up to pay cash for all or most of the home you purchase together.

It really is quite easy to do.

Kinda like your unwillingness to recognize that things are indeed tougher today than in your day? You're right, it does burn your sympathy credit.

Yet somehow, we don’t have millions of homeless millennials begging for food at every street corner. How is that possible?


Well since you're a moron, i'll tell ya.

1) Lots of folks have to live with their parents longer
2) Multiple roommates to split the bill

Is your argument that no realistic properties exist for a millennial family that isn’t 500 square feet and in the hood?


Lots of people are having issues even getting approved for loans with todays rates. So they're having to rent overpriced houses or apartments or live with mom and dad.

Do you understand that maybe people exaggerate because Boomers underplay everything and take no responsibility?

Boomers think life is exactly the same. Decisions are exactly the same. Risks are exactly the same.

These arseholes just said buying a home on single income and then marrying someone who was able to do the same so you can pay cash for your house is pretty much as easy as ordering a pizza.


I honestly don't know how you could be more out of touch.

No one said anything of the sort. You just don't understand how a starter house is an investment. You don't buy your forever home as your first house.

I understand exactly what you said.


You said a single income man should buy a house and find a single income woman who did the same and get married and then pay cash for a home.


And you made it sound like it was so easy a caveman could do it.

1000% upon further review. That bathroom and kitchen are atrocious and need major updating. If hypo grad could get it at $150/square foot maybe but at $354/square foot frick NO.

Yes. You would use debt to buy that first house. You build equity as the house appreciates in value and you pay down the debt.

There are extremely favorable mortgages available for first time home buyers. You can easily do this.

Oh Jesus above,



Let me make this simple...................No one said the starter home is a forever home.............But the whole process never starts because people cannot afford the starter home in the first place.

Good god man...




YOU CANNOT USE DEBT TO BUY THE FIRST HOUSE BECAUSE THE HOUSES COST MORE THAN YOU CAN GET APPROVED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE!

I really don’t understand why the millennial plight hasn’t captured the hearts and minds of the older generations. I mean, just look at how sympathetic all of you come across.

I have a home. Again, you boomers think if someone recognizes a problem it must mean they're personally harmed by it. I am not, I have a home. I just recognize it's a crappy situation for others.
