Am I the only one that teases myself watching House Hunters knowing it will be decades before I afford a house with student loans. ;_;

No, I love HGTV. But it is mind boggling seeing these seemingly normal people buy $750k houses that aren't even that nice like it's no big deal. Like where in the hell do they get all that money? That's a $150k down payment for christs sake

Ew who tf wants a house. I want to be able to pack the fuck up and change cities/countries at will. Idc if rent is going to nothing, you're going to die in the end anyway. Why buy a house that you finish paying of whe you're 70 and that your shit kids will sell anyway?

There's a difference between teasing myself and inflicting self-torture.

Speaking as someone who used to live with my parents in a modest house, and then had to move into a small apartment, is hard to explain the need for a house, but is there.

If anything, I would have to say is the sense of property. To know you can take down an entire wall, kill an animal and cook it on the backyard, plant your own vegetables, burying victim corpses or just take a shit while knowing there's nothing people can tell you about it... is comforting. Is your house, your space and as the owner, you can burn it down to the grounds and people can't do a shit about it, as long as you don't affect their property. In this apartment I can't jump or practice tap dance, because the neighbours from the floor below me will complain about the noise, and neither can made my main room bigger because I'm sleeping next to some random guy I have never speak to.

Is just so damn constricting.

I still dream about having my own backyard and be able to put a hammock and sleep there on weekends, like Homer Simpson.

apply for a student visa, you speak english and can type, make a great sob story to get a massive scholarship for an American university. You wouldn't believe some of the scholarships you'll get from writing "mee poor, want learn."

Almost as if the streets are paved with gold here.
