My parents friends were bragging about how their home they bought for $65k, 30 years ago just sold for $1.3 million. Then they told me that I should buy a starter home like they did… They said I was rude when I told them I can’t because their generation is selling starter homes for $1.3 million.

I got a house deposit because I saved 15k. then my dad died and I got 10k. and my partner had someone drive into her car and she got 30k. so we had a 50k deposit because of random circumstances... including death.

My grandmother cant understand why we are struggling to save for a house so I mentioned our rent is $630 a week and she said ‘oh well I would never pay that much for renting!’ Well nanna we dont have a choice..? This is the cheapest you can get a 3 bedroom house 🫠

Yep it's the $3 extra your spending on cheese 😳. If you stop doing that you'll save $200,000 in no time you'll just need to save that $3 a week for approximately 1,282 years and you will be all set.😢

You could sit in an empty room, never eat, have no power or heat, and Boomers will still say you're spending too much and need to work smarter and harder

and then they come back with "well why are you trying to buy a house that costs that much?! just get a cheap starter home" and you wanna wring their neck cuz the 900k IS the starter home

If we were to buy our house today it would be over $1M. To save a 10% deposit it would take us 40 months of saving $2000 a month. Most households don’t have that spare even when on good money and a tight budget

I heard my mum admit to my dad over the phone that I’ll never be able to buy a house. It’s taken me over a year to prove to them that newer generations will struggle and if you haven’t been saving the second you are born than you’re SCREWED

I told my grandmother how hard it is to save for a house because of the prices and she said "oh well wages have increased so it all works out about the same" like what no not at all

Yup. My parents' family home was $26k in 1976. Adjusted that's around $160k today. The cheapest listing in my *entire county* is $285k for a legally condemned foreclosure.

My family couldn't believe it when I got my first home last year, they kept saying I was looking at properties that were too expensive and that I should buy the "fixer upper". They got a rude awakening when they came house hunting with me!

Every single time I talk to my dad on the phone he berates me for spending money and not saving up for a cash down. He thinks I can miraculously save up enough to buy a place in a year. A cash down for a decent place (not full of mold) is around 40-50k in my area. I make 52k a year and have bills and rent to pay. It’s not my 5$ coffee once a week that’s ruining me financially!

My Nan bought her house for $14,000. They recently sold it before it even hit the market to a developer for just over 2mil. They had the place for 50 years.

Funny they say all of this but when you try to buy their home that they’ve never done any maintence on that has paint peeling and broken everything they won’t accept anything less that $1.5M
