Austin, want to move back to SA

Easy for you older boomers to sit and say in the comfort of your homes. POS homes are going for 400k here in San Antonio, how the **** is anybody supposed to afford something decent

---

If you haven't already bought, then I'd say be patient and keep saving a larger down payment. We will be in a recession by December and costs to build houses will drop due to increased inventory on the ground. If I'm right, builders will discount their inventory. You'll find better deals with a larger down payment which will put you in a stronger position. Take the advice or not, but good luck.

Plan better.

"Don't be poor"

Torn on this.

I get the concern.

Blackrock is evil.

100% disagree.

Capitalism should not be curtailed to "fix" any problems. The ingenuity of the masses can overcome any entity if they want something bad enough.

On the other side of the argument, maybe have a nonresident tax like colleges charge out of state tuition.

---

I've got some toxic slugde I need to dump in your backyard, because disposing otherwise costs me money and hurts the stock price of my company. Would you consider this any sort of problem that needs to be fixed by government?

How about we expel all Californians and send them back home, and build a wall around that ****hole state?

Same with Jersey, New York, and the other clue states the dem policies have screwed up. If you lived in those states and voted for the dems, then you live with the consequences.

Thrax was banned in record time. Amping up the trolling to have this one banned even quicker. Fascinating.

This is the other thing about dumb kids. They want all the nice **** I can afford. But yet don't feel they need to wait 20 years, working at progressively higher positions, all the while staying married to the same woman, who also works and has progressed far in her career.

So no. I don't give a **** that you're poor and I'm loaded. We used to be poor right out of college. And instead of being a whiny waste of space we worked hard and made ourselves millionaires.

Be a better person.

hard pass.

Don't know who that is

Probably not a popular opinion, but I would love to see something in the way of blocking foreign governments & foreign nationals from purchasing property here….

Even if we just stopped China it'd be a win

It'll never happen though bc the entire establishment washes their crooked money via china

---

Yeah. This is something that bugs me. No idea how that all works (foreigner buying real property).

That said, banning foreign or even just Chinese purchase of property wouldn't do any good. Just buy it through some sort of US based entity. Easy loophole

A lot of your generation was making double what mine is if we count for inflation. Y'all were never "poor" . This is also the same generation that complains about millennials who job hop and aren't loyal to companies

Y'all have a good night, don't feel like arguing

Starts thread blaming older generation because she's poor and then leaves because she "doesn't want to argue."

Lol

I started this troll thread because I don't feel like arguing. Good night everyone.

When you have massive hedge funds acting in such a manner to intentionally and fundamentally change the social makeup of a region and have such a large economic impact as to make it economjcally unfeasible for other individual persons to make simple economic transactions that hedge fund becomes a threat to individual liberty.

This is also why there are laws against monopolies.

And the answer to the OP is yes.

These young wippersnappers just can't hang!

Edit... As to OP. I don't know how old/ young you are and frankly I don't give a damn. But here's some sound advice that you're free to take.

Worst less about what I have in life right now, and focus more on what you can do to reach your own goals in life.

You'll catch up to me one day, and when that day comes, like me, you'll be in a box placed in the dirt.

I don't see how young folks are going to be able to purchase a home at a young age. You're looking at needing $80k just for the down payment. In my industry, that would take a while.

Your generation (and i am assuming you are an individual over 45)

is the reason why a college education has exponentially outpaced the cost of inflation and the reason college students graduate with either worthless degrees or a quarter mil in debt. you created that environment for the younger generation. Yes as a generation they have made some ****ty decisions.

but then i ask you who raised them and ill prepared them to make good decisions? its not a one way street.

accept a little responsibility for the mess you left for the younger generation.

after all your generation raised them and created the **** show of a society they now find themselves in. They just now have to live in the garbage heap you created.

Not much because material and labor costs have skyrocketed. Demand isn't the only pressure on the pricing.

What did a 45 year old do to leave your poor generation a mess?

Our family owns 4 homes. Our homestead, a very nice rental in SA, a very nice rental in Port A, and a nice rental in Kemah.

Why is that a problem?

salaries have remained flat or dipped somewhat outside of STEM.

The cost lf getting an equivalent education has skyrocketed.

This is where the disparity lies.

Its even worse for MD's.

I wasn't trolling, this is an issue that affects me and most people I know my age. Even Ben agrees to an extent. Y'all just have the usual "bootstrap" mentality. Night

Hey man, every generation has challenges. The boomers you like to **** on had to endure double digit interest rates and runaway inflation. Gen Xers like me got our dicks kicked in by the 2008 collapse. You'll have your chance to make hay if you keep working hard and make smart financial decisions. Don't vote for radical democrats and your path will be easier.

I'm not an expert but I just googled the average starting salaries in '05 and compared them to today. Adjusted for inflation, some are up a little and some are down a few thousand. Obviously nothing is half what it was back then.

So many people my age lost their jobs in '08 and had to start over too. And the generations before us had their problems as well.

I work in construction and I'd hire a new grad with a head on their shoulders for 55-60 right now and they'd be making 80-90-100 in 2,3,4 years with a little hard work. Seems to me like everyone is desperate for good employees.

Welcome to the fruits of Californication.

Just closed on a nice 2100 square ft house in poteet for 130k

One of 5 we bought this week.

OPs dream that he's too lazy to chase.

Now I will admit the contributions to this dumpater fire that we find ourselves in are not as high for a 45 year old as say a 65 year old. But let's cover a few.

Let's see go over the terrible policies a 45 year old would have voted into place.

Assuming a starting age of 25 so we will go back to 2002.

Trillions lost in an unjustified Iraq War.
Trillions more lost in Afghanistan.
Obamacare
The push of political correctness.
Which morphed into the woke movement.
The push for public sex education and the movements that would lead to the LGBTQABCDXYZ began with the younger generation pushing this in the early 2000's.
Reality TV began with your generation which led to the glorifying of do nothing celebrities and the obsession with being famous for famous' sake which created a whole slew lf other problems.
Your generation led the way regarding digital spying and then excused it (snowden).

I could go on but that pretty much suffices for now.

I'm not going to say how many I own. But courteously, piss off.


Move to Russia if you want the government to run things.
