$50 a hour in your 20s? That’s more than the average American makes. You probably got denied a loan because you had no credit.

well ya, I was like 23, nobody has much credit history at that age. So they required a 20% down payment, and when cheap peace of shit houses are 400K, it’s hard to just come up with 80K+ out of thin air, while also having to pay rent. Which wasn’t cheap since I needed a place with a garage to store my work equipment, which eliminates all the affordable rentals.
Honestly would have been further ahead making $35/hr with a cheap apartment, lmao.

Ya, back when lumber mill wages were $4.25 an hour. Because houses were less than a tenth of a cost they are today. Keep up.

Wait you need an education on how cheap houses were back then compared to salaries? Houses were the cost of ONE YEARS SALARY back then. Yes that 4.25 an hour genius.
