    has his own place

    That pretty much rules out anyone under 35 and single with current property prices.

    Nearly all my friends who have bought property, did it as DINK couples, not on their lonesome. Hard to get the down payment together otherwise.

        That’s not your own place. You could get kicked out at any time with just a month or 2 of notice. I’ve been renting apartments since I left the uni dorm, never considered an apartment to be my own place, even though I usually lived alone.

          Literally everybody in the civilized world considers “having their own place” just living away from their parents and sometimes also not having room mates.

          Renting an apartment is clearly having your own place, why does the greentexter care if you’re renting or paying a mortgage?

            What a creative and meaningful way to dismiss someone’s arguments.

            The words “your own place” imply ownership. Mostly everyone rents when they leave their parents place. To have your own place, you need to actually buy one, otherwise you’re still living in someone else’s place

              With your dumbass logic hardly anyone has their own place, when you have a mortgage the bank owns your house.

      I’m on the approach to my 40s and most of the people I know my age are still renting. I was lucky enough to buy an abandoned property after the 08’ crash for 30k, and that was only because I was able to secure a large personal loan from my credit union.

      Even though I’m making a lot more money now, I don’t think I’d be able to afford the neighborhood I’m currently living in based on how much it’s appreciated over the last 10 years.

    What’s the woman equivalent of a neckbeard?

    A woman on 4chan with those requirements and can’t keep a conversation going, has no sense of humour, doesn’t have a car, lives with their parents, and doesn’t speak a word when you go out with your friends.
