I haven’t gotten a raise in two years (despite getting a promotion) and my rent has gone up 70% in the past 4 years. I’ve been effectively priced out of ever owning a home where I live. All this to say my partner’s chud dad is old and my partner has to manage some of his finances occasionally. Just one of his accounts made $500K so far this year. Our only chance at owning a home is to bank on a generational wealth transfer that could take a decade or more. It’s a fucking joke.

It’s nuts to me that parents making that kind of money don’t just buy houses for their kids. Like how fucking cruel can you be?
