ChristLikeHonestly have a better work life balance than most jobs bro
As an RN you work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week. It’s not bad at all and you can self schedule
I did 6 days on (Thursday to Tuesday), 7 days off. I basically get 2 week’s vacation every month without using any actual vacation
Job I have now can be 12, 16, 24 hour shifts. Some weeks I work 2 days, sometimes I’m on call so I’m being paid just for the possibility that I might have to go in even if I never have to
Still don’t work more than 36-40 hours in a week tho. All time great career hustle nfs
Yeah i know all this my partner is the same. She takes a ton of extra shifts and is always doing 16s. I assume you had to as well if you somehow owned NY and overseas real estate?
Mar 20, 2023Yeah if you live in the top 5 most popular states maybe

You can save all you want but if the average home in your area is running like 600-700k for a single family. It’s simply going to be near impossible for most people to get that
Where tf are you living at where its thay high
In az you can get a two story 4 bedroom 2 bath for 200k to 300k, 10 years ago you could have got one for 100k to 200k
The only place i know that is that high is the Bayarea that isnt the complete ghetto & parts of LA
Im only aware of westcoast n south pricings, i have no experience of east

You can own a home if you reel in expectations or live in a less popular area or state
Even in some expensive cities, if you get a home right outside its cheaper although of course your commute will be longer, but its worth it imo
Also (which im sure most of you are aware) you of course dont pay the entire amount of the home just like a car
It is more difficult but not impossible, but if you live in a major state n near the major places it is an ass situation
One of the reasons my family moved out of the Bayarea to Arizona near Phoenix

I think it's doable, just from anecdotal evidence of my peers and people itt: The key is dual income. Owning a home with just one income is no longer realistic, but two middle class incomes (30/hr each)? More than doable as long as you're realistic about what you can afford.
But, I think owning a home is more of a lifestyle choice, it's not cheaper, it doesn't "free" you from anything, it's just a different way of living. I could get my myself into that position to purchase in maybe 2-3 years but with the economic, environmental and political uncertainties we are facing right now, and how overvalued everything is where I am living, I can't justify it, no matter how I look at it.
Mar 20, 2023CGeezyUnless there’s a deep correction. Idk if y’all follow the housing market at all, but housing prices at this point are simply getting to the point of being unattainable. Factor in the fact that folks like Grant Cardone are purposely buying up all the single families so people can rent forever, prices will only get worse with scarcity and artficial price pumping. For example in my town, there’s a near $500,000 price tag on a 2 bedroom townhouse for sale, place was prob only like $250 prior to covid. Pray for all of y’all, things will suck for the next years. Anybody in the market to buy?
owning the home you live in is overrated and not something most people should care about unless they have the surplus of money to basically throw away
I think it's better to invest in a multi family unit and profit off it- Mar 20, 2023
NEW EQUITYMy friend said the same thing
I just got back from America and honestly even though Egypt is poor I’d rather settle down there than anywhere in America. Ofcourse with an American income. That’s the goal
the dollar is like gold in egypt

Mar 20, 2023·1 replyChristLikeMarket has been correcting for months. Should be fine by this time next year. Interest rates are the real problem anyway.
My wife and I are already preparing to buy property in NorCal next spring and possibly Texas (Houston metro) as well. Already own property in nyc and overseas.
Yea, interest rates are insane. I wouldn't think of buying a house right now.

The thing to do is to buy some land and a used trailer house. Pay all that off and once you save enough you can build pretty much whatever the f*** you want on your own land.

Depends on the area. I bought mine back when I was still single only making $32 an hour with 0 down w/ 3% interest.

you're part of the out of touch upper middle-class who thinks that with neo-liberalism will enlighten anyone the opportunity to afford a property.
this doesn't work in reality.
