Btw renting now on average is 800 to 1000 a week, almost more than the mortgage repayments, so you have the same if not more expenses renting but you can find 250k for a run down old house right?
If your a single person in my part of Australia, make 130k a year, have 1200 in bills and groceries a month, a 600 a month car loan and a 3k limit credit card your 250k off what the bank will give you for a home loan for a 3x2 home.
The average wage is 110k, house is 800k.
My boomer dad asked me last week why I'm still renting at 43.
I told him a starter home in our area is $410,000.
He said "so save up."
I said the down payment alone is $82,000.
He said "that's not so bad, break it into pieces."
I said after rent, insurance, and daycare I put away maybe $400 a month.
He did the math out loud. Got to seventeen years. Went quiet.
Then he said something I didn't expect.
"I put down $3,200 on our first place. I had it saved in eight months working at the plant."
Then he just sat there for a second.
"I always thought you kids were exaggerating."
That's it. That's the whole conversation.
He wasn't being cruel. He genuinely had no idea. Nobody ever showed him the number.
Most of them aren't defending the system. They just never looked at it.
Now on that income you have about 2k left over every month, that money is for fuel, clothes, coffees, tools (if you need them for your job) etc that are NOT housing related, thats the 2k, any house or car repairs, it goes fast. All of this assuming you have a 250k deposit.
Never really messed with ai bs but thought this would be a laugh to try help keep my sanity while the politicians buy their 5th investment property and get a sizable donation to their private charities from gas corps Ai by grok

Hear me out:
A Cyberpunk DLC where you play as Trauma Team. You get to build your team, take on new clients, invest in better hardware to provide a killer service to Night City.
Just because your brain can think of 15 ways to not exist every 5 seconds doesnt mean everyone elses does, they might do it in 3.
Costs nothing to be nice and its a good distraction from your brains usual doom and gloom trying to think of something nice to say 😉
