I always think the same and can’t stop feeling bad. I used to live in an apartment the payment kept creeping up until I said fuck it and bought a house 6 years ago. My mortgage is $1000. People now pay $2000+ a month for an apartment. This is a fucked time to be a renter.
I don’t see it as that, it’s just a comparison to show how fucked up things are now.
Believe me I’m super bitter about being getting fucked on rent and being priced out of buying, but I dont take those kinds of comments as rubbing it in, just providing context.
I think Biden is giving out money for first time home buyers. I read that somewhere. An article mentioned it was like $400 a month for 2 years for first time home buyers to help them afford this shit. I mean a better fix would be stop all these corporations buying up houses and making it very expensive for others to buy, but I guess better than nothing?
That wasn’t my intentions, and I apologize if that has stepped on someone’s toes. I’m just mentioning how things have changed. I don’t think a mortgage payment is something to brag about, not for me at least. Hell, I’m still a broke ass mo fo who’s living paycheck to paycheck trying so hard to raise two kids.
Let’s flip it this way.
My rent was 1500 a month, and it was going to go up 13% this year. I bought a house this year instead, 2500 a month. In 5 years, that shithole apartment will cost more than my house.
People aren’t bragging about how low their house payments are, their warning everyone about how shitty apartment price gouging is.

I feel the same way. Our mortgage is $2K/mo for over 3K/sqft. Apartments around here start at $1500 for a studio … poor bastards indeed.
Why do people always turn these posts into opportunities to brag about how low their house payment is?
