Dude. If you practically just show up to work consistently for 2 years straight you’ll be at 60k without a degree. The problem is no one wants to work like that. I made 80k and worked 70 hours a week.
Try it out.
You can complain - which is the easiest way to accomplish nothing - or you can work your face off, save and be ready for the next time there is a shake out. If you put away 30k you can pull it off. Stop buying vaporizers and vaporizer accessories.

You gotta remember a ton of people divorced and separated during height of covid… that put a huge demand on the housing market… it will resolve the inventory shortage once people start moving in with significant others again. High interest will drop the price too.
Don’t be scared of high interest. The principal and interest are inversely proportional to have a payment that will f you just enough. The payment is what you must pay attention to.
Personally, I’d rather buy with high interest and low principal as there is hope to change the interest rate or also throw any extra cash you have at the principal and make small dents in it.
It’s a giant commitment no matter which way you look at. And it’s enough to shake enough people to want to keep renting.

I don’t think people understand that their first house isn’t going to be across the street from their job in downtown.
I bought an undesirable house in Framingham 4 years ago next to a train station.
I think the issue with everyone is, if you want to live in a dream house, you have to eat shit for 7 years. Either climbing a corporate ladder to 300k a year, or buy some shit house no wants and work on it until it is somewhat desirable.
Anyone posting here how they’re pissed off about whatever; either 1) save your money, don’t go on lavish vacations, get used to camping and pray that everyone who got divorced and separated moves in with a SO, and buy a house - that’s your 2-5 year plan 2) stop taking mental health days and take your job seriously - become a manager/supervisor and get pissed at the current workforce not showing up to work. Eat shit and keep switching jobs until you make 100k a year. Get a partner that shares your same values and eat shit together. Buy a two-family and build together.
I kind of did #2. I took a job I hated for 80k when I was single and saved every penny I had. No fancy anything. All my clothes from Joseph A Bank and Walmart. Bought a 2 family in a shit neighborhood and met my wife shortly after. She was supportive of me constantly working on the house every weekend, and she started investing her money into the house with me.
After we were married and she was pregnant we refied- put money down on a more spacious, more updated 2 family. After this we will purchase a single family of our dreams.
You can hate me for it or you can play the game yourself. It’s not easy, it’s lonely, and you need to align yourself with people that support you. Everyone else can go f off and you are left with awesome friends and a bit of wealth.

Reply to Proposed permanent housing building for those experiencing homelessness raises concerns with some Dorchester residents by ak47workaccnt
Building this is a monument to the dealers that bring the drugs into our state. A publicly funded building so some asshole can get blown on a yacht…
I want the money to go into finding out who, what, when, where and why is importing the shit right into downtown Boston.
I’m sure the housing works, so would publicly caning the distributers. I don’t blame the users, but who the hell is able to allow this to just happen?

There’s a major labor shortage. Anyone will be rewarded if they’re decently reliable.
Skilled labor. CDL holders. They give out free training for Christ sake. Everyone can bitch on Reddit when you can literally get out and work.
