Man I’m glad I was born and raised in a working class town now. Prospects looked pretty dire here when I was a kid. Local industry fell flat in the 1990s and into the 2000s so tonnes of my fellow millennials left to go to uni and get jobs in cities. That kept the cost of living here low and I was able to buy my first house at 22.
Now those deserters are saddled with student debt and unaffordable rents with no prospect of ever buying their own home. Recently the local industry started taking off again in a big way. I’m already making a pretty good wage but I’m also in track to have a Masters Degree and a high paid job after 3 years with a house that should have its value skyrocket over the next decade.
I’m glad my partner and I bought our house when we did. Got it for fairly cheap about 5 years ago and have had a lot of work done to it. Mortgage is affordable and I reckon we’ve easily put 200k+ on to the value of it. Issue is no fucker will be able to afford to buy it.
