You can afford a home on a single income if your income is 3-4x of the value of the home, roughly.
Where I live lots of people can afford homes, but they are just super angry they can’t afford the homes that they want. They don’t want a 2bed condo for 400-500K. They want single family home with 4bedrooms that’s about 3-4x the size of the condo, even if they don’t have kids, and are outraged such homes aren’t affordable for a single person.
But also, lots of people, don’t save intentionally and still complain they can’t afford stuff, even thought they could if they did save. These are the types who argue with you that 300/mo on gyms is a necessity… but they never go to the gym.

They have it backwards. Young people think old people had it easy. This is their justification for not trying. Truth is every generation has it’s challenges. Rather than turn to social media for validation, look for information. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone but if you’re facing a challenge, someone before you faced the same. Don’t listen to those who tell you not to try. Listen to folks who succeeded, what worked, what didn’t.
PS The only derogatory I can say about the young generation as a whole is, where the fuck is your rock and roll? You’re listening to your grandparent’s music. Lame.

I’m very likely younger than you.
then act like it
Not all young people are as bullheaded as the majority on lemmy. Thinking things through is not something people only develop at 40, nor is empathy.
yet you seem very bullheaded. it seems like you did not understand the original post at all. it is talking about giving up at an unwillingness to understand, you you were unwilling to understand that, therefore perfectly embodying the boomer mentality. that is why i sad “ok boomer”.
Hey, you get what you are looking for, right?
No I don’t have the time for people who don’t have time for me. Every boomer in my life decided I was lazy, weak, dumb, or worthless before trying to actually take the time to see if that was true. Why should I have spent the time trying to convince them otherwise if they already didn’t care? It’s not like me showing them how wrong they were benefits me whatsoever. Wasted energy that could be better spent improving my life and the lives of people who do care.
Aww you are such a victim! Want a hug?
Well now don’t you feel big on the internet! What a tiny insignificant piece of trash you are. It sounds like you’re probably the one who needs human touch here. I hope you get it one day.
Hey there you go, keep on keeping on!
