    As a gen X it’s just nice to be remembered that I exist.

    Still, I own my own home without my parents having to die, so I’ll rub that in your faces if you try to make me feel old.

        So much better than renting. It’s imba.

        I realised the other day I hadn’t heard that word in years, so I’m bringing it back.

          You basically have to buy if you can afford it, only thing worse than paying a mortgage is paying someone else’s. I’m closing in on my mortgage in my 30s which I never expected. Going to a trade college allowed me to save down payment and never be jobless, and buying a shitty townhome during the crash in what became a highly desirable area, allowed me to move to a huge country property before the market caught up here. Odd but very fortunate set of circumstances.
