They don’t have jobs.
-ditto-
I don’t have job, so I am renting.
Bingo. Two posts out of the chute, and one guy nailed it.
25% of our workforce out of work. 25% more making half what they did prior to 2008. New employees being paid less than past generations for the same work...
I tell you folks, this move to get goods and services more cheaply from overseas, has cost us in ways we never would have imagined.
Multiple trillions siphoned off our soil by foreign manufacturers. Illegals working for wages that will only support a person in poverty. U. S. Citizens having to compete here for jobs that can be done more cheaply other places...
You know, it all sounds so great until you watch what is happening to our society under these pressures.
We didn’t become the greatest nation on earth utilizing the policies we are today. As it continues to get worse, folks will speculate why. Most often they will miss it completely.
Our leaders have implemented the wrong policies, and some of us mistook support for the capitalist model, as the loyalist way to go, not realizing you can destroy yourself doing a good thing too.
Deflating our own nation to inflate another one is just comical to watch. People just can’t get over the fact that implementing these policies has contributed to destroying our nation.
What changed after 1992 folks? Any guesses?
Man I’ve seen some dense people, but this is just nothing more than national suicide.
They don't have jobs that are stable enough to assume they'll be in an area long enough to make home ownership worthwhile. They know the housing market is imperfect and if they have to sell in order to move they could get stuck with a loss. Besides that, their lifestyles have for most of them never involved mowing the lawn or doing household chores.
And then there's that "trendy" situation, Starbucks and microbreweries and all that.
Around here, some of the houses (older and good bargains, established neighborhood) have been purchased by millenials. I find that encouraging that some of them are thinking things through.
Yes, what you said. They are not paying quadruple-digit rents and spending all of their take-home pay on fancy hot dogs. More than likely, they are living with their parents, trying to find a job of any kind.
And they have huge student loans, thanks to the government/educrat complex.
