Insulated me from reality? Haha. Considering I come from a family of Vietnamese refugees that could barely afford meat in our diet and I graduated college in 2006 right before the Great Recession, I'd argue it's because of my exposure to hard times that allows me to look at things from a place of abundance, rather than scarcity.

We will see, but you’re not a boomer with sons living at home. I know many of the same. They just can’t afford a home. Due to Air B&B the rental market is insane with rental costs being the same as home ownership.
@KaiAndrew3 ай бұрын
I find that hard to believe. And I know that’s not true. Every major city has areas of the city that has lower cost of living. If your area doesn’t - then he can move somewhere else. The median rent of an apartment is $1700/mo. Let’s say your son finds an older apartment or condo with 3 bdrms for $2100/month including utilities. (I’m in the market, looking to buy an apartment building with 2bd/1bath units that rent at $1500 in a good area of Austin,Tx - so yes this is possible). He gets two roommates and split the bills and he’s paying around $900/mo. That’s $10,800/yr. Assuming he’s spending 33% of his take home on housing, that means he needs to take home $33k/yr or approximately $55k gross salary. The problem is either, expectations are too high and he wants to live in an area he can’t afford or he either doesnt want, or isn’t qualified, to get a job that pays $27/hr. Ps. My cohort graduated at the top of the market bubble in 2006/2007 when housing prices were even higher…

@@KaiAndrew In our area anything that has more than two bedrooms where you could feasibly accommodate roommates is an Airbnb. And not everyone makes $27 an hour. I don’t even make that! You have your head in the clouds if you believe that everyone has a college education. My daughter does my neither of my sons do. One makes decent money and the other doesn’t. It’s not easy to get a college education if your father isn’t interested in helping you out and they all three have the same father, but that’s a different story. And we’re not originally talking about renting anyway. We were speaking about purchasing a home. You have to have a sizable down payment. And picking up and just moving somewhere costs money. You are obviously upper middle class with a silver spoon in your mouth. Take off your rose colored glasses and take a look around at the real world. Not everyone has the same advantages. People actually live paycheck to paycheck in the real world. So I’m sorry but you are so wrong. So blatantly incorrect!

Over 27% of SINGLE FAMILY homes are being purchased by investors… might have an impact on the market? That’s over ¼ of all single family homes in a national market that is over 7.5 million homes short, while we are currently building about 1.4 million homes per year = that would take 5.3 years to achieve a balanced market - with wars and more than likely supply chain issues ahead… as much as I think it would be healthy for us to finally have a correction in the housing market, it does not appear that (individual) home ownership is a concern of the establishment at this time. I’d argue the indications point to the contrary.

It's always a pendulum that goes back and forth - it will swing back the other way. 5.3 is a blink of an eye in terms of the market. 2019 was 5 years ago already. Alas, there are still good markets and deals out there - more than you'd think.

Kai, I am Cambodian where my parents came to the states during the SEA conflict(Vietnam war/Khmer Rouge). You are spot on with the difference in culture. You and I more than likely went through the same struggles growing up however this issue is nuanced and multifaceted. It's expensive to get married. Divorce is financial ruin for a man and in today's dating climate where it's normalized, most men don't want to take that risk when the odds of divorce is so high. Hence why more men stay "single". It costs a lot more to "make it" today than say, 10-15 years ago. I agree with you on motivation and entitlement. There no way I can say this without coming off as a hater or "boomer" but most young men I meet want to cosplay the sigma/grind mindset but in reality, just want to appear that way on Instagram or TikTok. The influencer point is spot on. I am first generation American like you and I'm already a homeowner. I did this by working in a damn warehouse doing phyical labor. Young men are entitled and "too good" to do work. I say, stay broke and rent forever.

Maybe the market needs to adjust and start building homes, condos or townhomes that are not 2,000, 3,000 or 4,000 sq feet. This model was never financially or environmentally sustainable, but it did bring in profits with larger loans and margins for builders. And maybe the government needs to provide better tax incentives or lower interest rate loans for first time home buyers? Finally, maybe the government should limit the number of institutional investors, with the right incentive structures, who can buy homes and drive up rents along with home values? This has been a significant problem since the 2009 crash. Just a thought.

@@KaiAndrew I do believe that intervention is the way to redirect the economy, which has been a problem for the US when bubbles were looming. We keep repeating the same mistakes; i.e. Tech bubble and financial crisis (2009). And now a potential housing down-turn along with a credit card bubble/crisis. There is a reason rents are so high with a perfect storm of AirBNB, inflated home prices due to a housing shortage and a distorted rental market with institutional investors. We have some scary days ahead unless the federal government takes some action. To your comment... I believe a key flaw in our model is consolidation and companies, in the US keep driving the price to what they believe people will pay. Bush, Obama and Trump all dropped the anti-trust ball. Biden has SLOWLY stepped back in to reintroduce SOME anti-trust cases, but it's slow coming. I hope not too slow before it's too late.

Any self-respectable man would want to stay single. I mean a lot of guys get in relationships and become jealous of their partner. This leads most relationships into a downward spiral where the man either becomes abusive or a murderer. And working hard labor jobs is physically and mentally stressful leading many people to go beserk. Because work isn't what it was in the 50s or 60s when people actually got paid fairly and treated right. If at the end of the day you're a lot worse off than had you not worked at all, how does one justify its necessity?❤🎉

I will rebut one point; millennial entitlement. Yes we are entitled. Because we were raised by the most socially entitled generation in the entire human history, boomers. We see their post-war prosperity, being able to afford a single family home and raise a family on a single salary. The comment of “get a roommate” is on the same vein of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” Keep that historical context in mind. Yes the USA is better off than Vietnam but that doesn’t mean we have to have a race to the bottom of “my suffering was worse so it diminishes or invalidates yours.”
@KaiAndrew3 ай бұрын
It's not a race to the bottom at all. Objectively, refugees coming to America (regardless of country) without speaking English and zero money is in a tougher situation than today's millennials/gen z. As bad as it may be right now, I doubt you'd want to swap lives with a Ukrainian or Russian refugee coming to America for the first time with a family to feed. Getting a roommate is a clear actionable task - something you could do with friends, family or a simple post on Craigslist. "Pull yourself up by the bootstrap" is vague, abstract and unclear. Poor and inaccurate comparison.
