@phocks@bne.social and the scary part is it was NOT easy! They scrimped and saved to get the deposit, and then spent years paying it off - those years last century with 15% interest rates were not fun! Now its just not possible. Example: i mortgaged a tiny one bedroom flat in my very early 20s for 70K. Its now worth $900K. I am earning 5 times as much, not 12 times as much - theres no way my kids could duplicate that! :(
