BOOMER: "Just buy a house. Stop renting and build equity."
ME: "Houses are $450,000."
BOOMER: "So get a mortgage."
ME: "I need a $90,000 down payment."
BOOMER: "I bought my first house with $5,000 down."
ME: "What did your house cost?"
BOOMER: "$60,000."
ME: "So you put down 8% of the price. I need to put down 20%."
BOOMER: "Well your salary should be higher."
ME: "I make $70,000 a year. Banks say I can afford a $280,000 house max."
ME: "Everything in my area costs $400,000+."
BOOMER: "You should move somewhere cheaper."
ME: "All the jobs are here. If I move, I make $35,000 and houses still cost $250,000."
BOOMER: "It's about discipline and sacrifice."
ME: "You bought a house for 3 years of salary. I need 6 years of salary."
ME: "Plus I have $50,000 in student debt you didn't have."
BOOMER: "Well I worked hard."
ME: "So do I. I'm just playing a different game with worse odds."
BOOMER: *silent*
You didn't buy a house because you were smarter. You bought it because it was actually affordable.

Mitch McConnell trolled RBG on her death bed by releasing the list of nominees he intended to replace her with. He and Trump did that after she had ask McConnell as a personal favor, to wait until after the 2020 election had passed. I just thought you people should know that.
@mikitaposts@Thesis90 Not a choice when they're forced to do it because Belarusian is on the decline thanks to Russian influence on Belarus.
