So you'll be renting until you die pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars and you are cheering that nobody will be around to pay your social security? Sounds like you have it all figured out

Those are the facts. Bitching about it doesn't change those facts.
I've never disagreed with these facts. I've restated them multiple times. I'm not bitching anymore than you are.

By this very statement, you showed that you agree it was easier in the past than today to buy affordable housing in desirable areas.

It's true in just about all cases. Which is why it's so funny watching Mr. Perfect strut around like he's the first one to figure it all out.

that's not how investing works dude
I have equity to move freely into a variety of sources since it's not going to a mortgage
or I could buy home in 2019 shock value market and have all that money stuck there for next 20 some years.
please think

Ok. Let's discuss why housing increased between my father's time and my time.
Why do you think so?
Population increase
Gentrification/people moving back to the city
Inflation
Etc
All making housing more expensive now than then.

It's obvious you think boomers are pieces of shite, and that you, and only you, understand what 'real' living is like. So...when you say this:

Ya, that pretty much says you think anyone having a family are a bunch of chumps.

Well, except that rent you're paying each month.

Yeah, I'm a millennial and want a family and home eventually. Lots of people my age think acting 26 at 40 will be cool.
Posted on 4/12/19 at 12:10 pm to Centinel
Moreso in those, sure. If you're going to act like everywhere else, house prices raised perfectly equal with inflation, then LOL

You can celebrate at one of the 3000 Chili's up there.

just earn 1-3% on your mortgage per year (if you're lucky)
or 5-7% elsewhere

And the interest on your mortgage, your property taxes, homeowners insurance, routine home maintenance, and major home repairs?
Lot of people get themselves into financial trouble buying into the line that "owning a home is like paying yourself rent instead of throwing it away to a landlord; it's a no brainer!"
Posted on 4/12/19 at 12:13 pm to 50_Tiger
They are few and far between and most are secondary locations for restaurants down here. Or lesser known upscale chains.

You don't get this choice. That 1-3% opportunity (if your housing market sucks that bad) goes *poof* when that same pool of funds instead goes to the pocket of your landlord.
You don't have that same money to invest "5-7% elsewhere"

Ya, you probably should a bit more.
