"You've got to pull yourself up by your bootstraps! Back in my day we bid against foreign institutional investors and elders buying 3 homes for their own personal use as well, and we won those bidding wars with our salaries from bagging groceries! You young ones are just lazy and entitled!"
I hear this from my parents sometimes...
Which is funny, because the normal situation in Australia is: parents help out with deposit for first home, and/or grant children easier rent situation in a property they own (both of which are kind of depressing)...
Mine is: parents have holiday house but don't allow me use of it, retain an investment property, but again I don't have use of it, and expect me to make it entirely on my own, lol...
Yeah, it's... "Fun". My grandparents have been actively more helpful than they have, lol. Fuck 'em.
My parents aren't wealthy enough to own multiple properties, neither are my grandparents, I'm going to have to get it all on my own.
Yeah I'm toast lmao
Just hope, like me, that the system collapses at some point, because it simply cannot continue the way it is going (although every time it looks like something might change, like the housing bubble bursting, or the laws changing, it never does)…
Honestly, at this point, while the “Hurr durr, you wouldn’t survive societal collapse” meme is probably true, my life is so… Not where I want it to be, that I almost feel that would be better (for me, if not in general)…
I’m just so damn sick of the current way society is (going), and have been for like a decade. There has to be something better than this…
Although honestly, I do feel like Australia is even worse than the norm, on some of this, so that is at least something…
But yeah, I feel ya dude/dudette. Even with our different backgrounds, the end result is the same.
I barely see a cent of my parents wealth. They’d rather just buy nice shit for themselves, and hoard it while they can.
Which is fine, I suppose. They can pay for their own fucking nursing home, as far as I’m concerned. 👌🏻
