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

        Those cost more than a house! The one my friends dad lived in where it was all in the same building and the staff was there just in case you fell was 4k a month.

          It depends on where you go. You probably don’t need much in terms of space and features.
