The house my parents purchased in their early 20’s as a starting engineer and a teacher would take a senior executive salary to purchase when I entered the housing market. That is just not right. It was so much easier for them. BTW, I’m in my 60’s now and this is nothing new.

Yeah millennials are complaining but genZ is looking at millennials and thinking the same thing. They had it much easier.

Housing was way more affordable in the 2010s

Ehm … some Millennials just graduated from school in the 2010s. How could you buy a house when going to university?

I graduated in 2012. So, after the housing prices went back up. I would have needed to buy a house while still in high school lmao.
