Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years?
TheDoozer@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoMy question was less about how doable it is, and more… if you can’t afford to buy a house, how can you afford to pay rent (and thus someone else’s mortgage plus a little extra)?
The last place I lived, I could afford my mortgage but I wouldn’t have been able to afford to rent an equivalent house. Hence my confusion.

I’ve owned a house for a long time, but the issue is paying their current rent/bills while also saving enough for a down payment.
