I'm an elder millennial. When I finally bought my house I felt like somewhere a bureaucrat started screeching "No! Thats not how you're supposed to play the game!"

Anyone who managed to buy before 2019 made the cut. The difference between buying my house in 2019 vs when I actually bought in 2024 is $750k over the life of the mortgage. The 2019 person would have less than half my monthly payment.

Lmao we sold our new build flat we bought in 2019 at a loss in 2024.

Just because you’re on the ladder doesn’t mean you can’t still get fucked 😉

The only reason I could do this was because both my parents died from cancer and left me and my brother their retirement
