I know I'm supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like... I wouldn't be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it's scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

Houses should have never been an investment.

Burn the entire fucking thing down.

If I burn my house down then where will I live?

In your new Wells Fargo Lifepod(tm)! 160 sqft of essential living. Conviently stackable. Durable metal construction. Only $3900/mo!

*Doors sold separately.

It's Wells Fargo, so have they already used your info to buy one in your name without me knowing?

House is an investment even if you build it entirely by yourself from materials harvested and processed by you. You invest a chunk of your time and effort to build something you expect to "pay you back" in the future, eg. keep you dry and warm when it's cold outside.

Sounds like an asset to me.
