@bix_xie@LoudOutside I'd agree if it was just the weight gain, but unkept hair and facial hair is a real indicator, I've had a few friends go through depression, they all became quite untidy looking. Just something to keep an eye on.
@jarethkennedy@morsebolt@bowtiedstocks Absolutely, but I think more people (especially young families) see it more as something to live in, rather than an investment.
@GCornwa41807@ausstockchick Banks factor all that in when applying for a home loan, if they don't think you can afford it (even with a couple interest rate increases) they won't touch you. That's why they ask for bank statements, spending habits etc.
Losing a job is a different story, that hurts.
@morsebolt@bowtiedstocks Getting into the market is not investing. Sure it 100% can be used as an investment, but a lot of people just want to be able to say they bought a house and live in it.
There is a very real and scary chance that people will miss that train. If they haven't already.
