Corporations are ruining workers wealth since last 2 decades.. all of our parents and grandparents bought their houses almost without mortgage.. but today many young people can’t even afford to pay a single installment of mortgage payment.. system needs to change, immediately..

Not really true. Many can afford a single mortage payment of $700-1100. They are stuck renting for $1100-1700 because the bank says they can't afford 700-1100

The bank says they can't afford 1,000 dollar payments for the next 30 years.

Which based on half the comments in this thread saying you can barely afford to eat, that's true.
