My salary didn’t change at all, but homes went up 82%. The money I saved for a down payment and my salary no longer are good enough for this home and many others. This ain’t even a “good” home either. It was a 200k meh average ok home before. Now it’s simply unaffordable

    This is a boomer logic…

    1. You are going out so far out that commute arouns trip will start @ 2 hours
    2. Both people must have reliable vehicles, cost of whivh also spiked. Whats total cost for a reliable vehicle now?

    Congrats, you are living a miserable life with mortgage, 2 car notes and commute that destroys your health.

    Played yourself really.

      Yes this thinking really underestimates the cost of driving and devalues your time.

      And as you mentioned, long commutes are uniquely unhealthy.
