whoever said they were despondent about all this, yep, big same been living in the same crappy apartment for 14 years now. back in 2019, me and my partner were planning to buy a house in 2020. then he died instead! lol now the life insurance money will go towards my down payment but uhhhh even in my midsize midwestern city, the modest houses are now $300k instead of ~$175k. at least staying in the city proper is cheaper because of white flight, I guess? idk it sucks poo poo. while I have the down payment covered neither I nor my new partner makes enough money to feel comfortable with a $2k mortgage payment so I guess we'll just be stuck in my apartment for another couple years until something crashes or corrects

I was thinking today about "starter homes" and how bullshit that concept is lol ah yes I will buy a house when I'm young (too late!) that is solely a stepping stone to a series of bigger and more expensive homes when I eventually buy a house at 40-something I will stay there forever, bitch

I don't remember how I paid rent at my first apartment, but I do remember how they gave me a 14-day notice because they thought my cat had destroyed the apartment. they gave me my full security deposit back, as they should have, because he didn't do poo poo. then they harassed me and signed me up for all those old CD clubs, magazine subscriptions, and "free info" for credit cards and insurance and all kinds of poo poo at my new address. you know, mail fraud
