Not trying to discount anyone's situation, but if you are in the USA and have the option, move out of the bigger cities and into the countryside. Land is cheap, houses can still be cheap and in some areas there aren't enough people to live in the houses so they are super cheap. Buy a house with the land, work remotely since high speed Internet is everywhere more or less. I live in a super small town that was crushed by NAFTA and only the local hospital keeps the community alive since it brings in a lot of good jobs.
This is such an entitled opinion.
“Just work remote and buy a cheap house”. Most people don’t have the ability to work remotely.
Duh, that's why I said that in the first sentence, it's not for everyone.
Not "not for everyone" so much as "for a distressingly low number of people"
Like, I make decent money and still never would've been able to afford a home without help from my parents, and I can't believe some days how lucky I was/am for the circumstances that made that possible
That's the point.
If it isn't for everybody, it's a privilege
