    Gen Z are what… 26 at most?

    Yeah, not many millennials or gen X were able to afford to live alone before their 30s, stop thinking you’re the only ones who had it hard for years after being done with school.

    Heck, my parents came out of university with unemployment at 12+% and interest rates at 18+%, sounds like fun, right? Good climate to think about owning a first house! I wonder what they did… Oh, that’s right, they rented an apartment from my great grandmother and lived right above her and my grandparents! A fucking dream, right?

    They purchased their first house when they were in their early/mid thirties.

    Wanna know how I managed to do better than them? I got 10k from my father’s life insurance after he hung himself when I was 26 and let me tell you, I would rather have continued renting.
