@StrikingBroly @CaryKelly11 My first home is valued on Zillow at under 170K, and the interest rate is half what I had to pay. You can still afford a home but it is likely below your expectations.

@StrikingBroly @CaryKelly11 Whining gets you nowhere. Do like we did, work.

@BoomerDivvies Didn’t say they don’t make cars but looking at Tesla as a car centric company is a mistake

@MetamateDaz If you can’t understand the investment value of the degree you pursue you obviously not read for college

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@pthread_mutex_t @MaxMcGuireCPA I am thank you. Keep that struggle up with basic math. It will be worth it someday

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@pthread_mutex_t @MaxMcGuireCPA Of course, you can afford less home with a higher interest rate. More interest equals less buying power

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@BoomerDivvies It was very difficult to realize you weren’t going to spend it all after living very frugally whole life. But I’m over the hump down and fly first class.

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@pthread_mutex_t @MaxMcGuireCPA And the interest payment is higher reducing purchasing power. The math really isn’t complicated

@DemonFramed Spoken by a non boomer of course.

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@pthread_mutex_t @MaxMcGuireCPA You can always ask the bank for a higher rate next time you get a loan

@LeviSpires Half the cost of a Ram computer

@MetamateDaz He must have started driving at 5

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@pthread_mutex_t @MaxMcGuireCPA Difficult to pay early at those rates. The last two generations have no clue what interest rates in the teens can do to a paycheck. My second home was at 10% and felt like I had stole the money

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@ronsterd89 Perhaps you only have 17 dollar an hour skills?

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@KristySellsLV Now do median sq footage from the late 70s. My first home in 81 was 1100 ft sq, (and a 14% interest rate). Smaller homes are still available, you don't have to ask for it just find it Mine hasn't burned down.

@KCH_76 @hockeymommy19 @jeremyct I can remember when one had to have at least a basic understanding of math to enter college. This would include principle/interest calculations. Those days are apparently gone.

[Windman11 @Windman1955]

@KCH_76 @jeremyct Pro tip, all loans compound interest.
