Social Security should pay all retirees equally. I retired at 64 and get a check for $2,275. Because I bought my house for cash before I retired (in CA with our Prop 13 protection), my monthly bills are less that $1275 including food, utilities, insurance, and everything so I have plenty left every month. But what makes my contribution to society as a worker more valuable than someone who worked hard for 60 years but who only gets a $1500 check? That should be fixed. Whether you're an M.D. or a Garbage Collector, both of those jobs are necessary and should be rewarded in retirement equally imho.

Ill send good thoughts your way. Im so sorry your are in that situation. It shouldnt be. ❤

The "National Grid" is only in the NE part of the US and Texas is part of the SW. You pay about 40% less for electric than the people who buy from the National Grid. Cell service is spotty in the US since we are so large. I own my own home in California and I only have 1 bar cell phone.

@@georgeford6506 how much you putting down? Debt to income ratio? The bank will view it as Person A puts 50k of his money down Person B puts 5k down. The bank views it as person A is more likely to not walk away cause they got 50k in the fight vs person B who doesn’t even have a used car in the fight. Housing is timing. I bought my first house in CA In Medium size city making 12/hr in 2011 for under 100k lived there 5 years sold it and made almost 200k moved to a major city used the money I made for a down on a new home. Which putting so much down. The payment on a 400k home would be less then a 2 bed apartment. Then I refinanced during the pandemic and put in a pool. My house payment is less then a 2 bedroom apartment in the city I live. For context if your rent is 1900 you paying a lot more then me. and I have a 4 bedroom house with a in-ground pool in a decent neighborhood

Yes of course, you can rent month to month with bad credit which is high risk for the owner, otherwise why would a bank give you a 20-30yr loan without credit? A lower payment does nothing to guarantee your employment.

I know a person in her mid 80s living out of her car. Tried to help, but felt I was being used, she never offered up any help around my house, even though she was able bodied.

There are places in the USA with rent control too. There are also smaller towns that are much cheaper to live in here in the USA - you just need to research & go visit. It is hard for people to live the more expensive cities if that’s where their friends & family are. You CAN still find reasonably priced places if you try.

True, in California, more than 40% of millenials are still living with their parents, 16% are living in overcrowded conditions, 12% are commuting more than an hour each way every day, and basically everyone is rent burdened. This is a housing shortage, and nothing will help except legalizing building dense urban transit oriented apartments.

If you’re spending half your income on rent you can’t afford to live in that area, simple as that

​@@StraightFelon I'm in this situation right now. Leaving is probably the best option, but there's no where to go still within driving distance to work. So I'd need to find a new job in a cheaper area. But I don't qualify for a lease in a new area because I won't have an income when I move in. So I'm just kind of stuck here, paying over half my income to rent. I've picked up a second job and am saving that money. And THAT income doesn't count when applying for a mortgage, for whatever reason. The whole situation is just kind of shitty.

@@cjhale2772 that is really shitty that your second job does not count when applying for mortgage. I live in London. I make what you’ll call a decent salary but unfortunately I still can’t afford to get a mortgage even with government assistance (which comes to an end March 2023). And I’m looking outside London but within an hr commute to work and I still can’t find an apartment not house that wouldn’t take up 60% of my income. You can’t get a decent job outside London. Most of it is in central London. In the end, I may have to go for a one bedroom and hope it appreciates after 2 years so I can sell and hopefully save for a better place.

When the gov't pulls out over 10 million affordable housing units to shelter the border crossers, of course it means prices will go up and more people will become homeless. Who would you rent to? The gov't can pull a world of hurt on anyone who refuses to give up their hotels, motels, apt buildings, and houses to the gov't. Where did you think the millions upon millions of border crossers get their housing from?

@@TeNot556 No, the affordable housing can only be priced so high, it's the gov't taking all the affordable housing which increases the prices of the rest of the affordable housing. If you want to get affordable housing and stop the rampant rise in homelessness, you need to close the borders and deport. You need to vote more wisely since you vote for everything that you're complaining about. Stop voting for clowns like Biden.

@@TeNot556 If you voted for Biden, you voted to housing shortages, he promised it when he said he wanted open borders and that he would never put America first.

This isn't the only issue going on.

@@ryanm4319 What?! Jesus, you make no sense.

A system is corrupt when it is strictly profit-driven, not driven to serve the best interests of its people, but those of multinational corporations

When I rented an "affordable housing" apartment it was literally just us tenants constantly filling out paperwork for the landlord confirming that we're poor so the city and state would foot the bill for any upkeep or upgrades he was doing to the complex. And all of the paperwork would come with a sheet stating that as a renter I was legally obliged to know that since he was getting funding for the construction or upkeep projects that meant he couldn't charge more than a certain amount for rent base on our income. My husband and I spent close to 70% of our income on rent, we made $10 over the budget line for income assistance that would have decreased our rent to an actual affordable amount. And the landlord charged $5 less than the maximum amount he was allowed to charge us for a studio apartment. Affordable housing in this country is a fucking joke

Affordable housing was only like $100 cheaper in an (expensive) part of NM I looked at, lol

People are buying houses to store their money not to rent them out!

In 2018 me and my girlfriend where forced to leave our house we where renting because our landlord got divorced and his wife won the house we where in in the divorce( it was out landlords patents home so she didn't have any money into it) since she didn't have a place to live she kicked us out so she could move in. We bought a 32ft RV trailer and parked it at our business which was a shop in town. We then sold our business but we still live in our rv at my gf grandparents place(fortunately). I have a large piece of land I need too put utilities on then we can live there but I have lived in a rv for almost 4 years.. not fun.

@@deanvoss7098 Someone writes all of that, and your solution is just "buy a home." Do you realize how absolutely ridiculous that sounds?

Move to another state or country thats not so expensive! California sounds like a bad scene. Screw these trailer parks.

I absolutely agree!! There are sharks in my town in MO. When a basic older house goes up for sale it almost never gets sold to one of the many families waiting. It’s almost always to someone that owns 3-4 rental homes already. They buy it throw a sign on it and rent it out for $1,500. Private sales is where it has went wrong. Well at least I think so. Things would be much better if the showing, bidding, and purchase were public. I believe people would be more willing to sell their home to another family standing there rather than some guy with a nice suit. It boils down to community. As a homeowner myself, I would rather sell to a new married couple with dreams to fill rooms or a family with children already. I wouldn’t waste my time with the guy that’s just seeing dollar signs.

Absolutely. There are mega sized property management companies that are paying all cash for properties so they can own them, and buying up many in an area, so they can essentially set the price on them for rent, and they are also out competing people trying to buy a family home they want to live in. Owner/residents are more engaged in communities and their neighborhood. Nothing against renters, because I was one until age 32, but home owners have roots. The longest I lived in a rental was 4 years. Most place I renter were 1 or 2 years max and I moved a lot because of my job. We need a cap on the number of homes that can be owned by absentee buyers in an area.

America has not been for the people in a very very long time

So my question is if say a generous billionaire came and bought property and lowered rent cost around the areas would all rent prices be force to go down

The tax for owning housing that you're not living in should be very high after you own more than 10 private dwellings and the corporate structure in which companies own other companies to open up a loophole should also be fixed

It’s terrible that you had to go through all this terrible events. That said, I am an immigrant. I came to this country to work hard 40 years ago. After many years of saving money, I bought a townhouse. Then I always saved to spend on education. I know that not everyone is cut out to go to school. But we are all good at something. Follow your passion and give it 100%. You can accomplish anything in life.

What is it that you do for a living?

Is it possible for you to learn a skill that can pay you more? Something you can freelance. E.g. if you can learn to repair something & there's a market for that in your area. Perhaps there's a skill you could learn in 3-6 months, that can pay $25+ per hour or service, that could be a start towards improving your situation, even if they're small improvements

Aquire a skill that people are willing to pay for, that accommodates your lifestyle.

Wish there were more people like you. Seems like the only way the majority of landlords will ever behave like you is only when the system forces them to, not out of their own hearts.

@@KD-ou2np and how do we force tenants to pay their rent or take care of the property? It goes both ways.

God bless you Sir.Unlike you most people are selfish.

Thank you for your humanity!!

Getting my deposit back, has always been hit or miss for me. I remember one time, I really tried hard to get the full deposit back. I went all out and cleaned everywhere and made sure everything was working correctly. I only got back 40% of my deposit. Not sure what I did wrong? Carpet looked great, I replaced the stove burners, washed down nearly everything that could be reasonably washed. I still don't know what I did wrong.

This is sad and scary

come to nz worst here.

Maybe you can invite 3 or 4 of them to share your place with you.

Did you vote for Biden? Just curious......

I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks..

I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more..

@@Florencecoxx That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.

@@bjoe631 You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe..?

Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about Gary Mason Brooks , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that he’s very good in trading..Highly recommended..

its not really the landlords's choice. IF taxes and utilities are increasing either they raise rent or lose money, if most people arent paying rent selling it might be the only way to not lose money

I left LA around 2007 and moved back to my birth state. I visit family regularly but have no desire to move back. In LA from 2002 until I left in ‘07, I was paying about $1000 plus utilities for a 1BR/1BA in KTown before it was hip. I can only imagine what the rent is like now. Add to that, $700 monthly to care for an infant and $400 for aftercare, I worked to keep a roof over the family’s head on a teacher’s salary. It was rough then but seems impossible now. The unhoused pop seems to grow and I could never move back for fear I’d join them.

more and more families are 'moving back in' with each other to save on the outrageous expenses. One of my college friends from 25 years ago moved back in with his mother (partially to take care of her), and his sister followed shortly after. ... If people are willing to sleep on a couch in the basement, and the couch in the first floor livingroom, so be it. As long as it's feasible. Cramped quarters aren't an issue compared to the housing crisis and the cost of living these days.

@@AnjoGal save money by living with family and friends start an enterprise from home thats the real way of getting ahead these days. Theres been a contracting economy ever since covid and its gotten worse since Biden got in

@Victoria B. ... Your sly landlord had intentions to sell all along. They forced you out. My son's landlady forced him to pay extra saying it was either that or she would sell (he's already paying off her mortgage with his rent). I praise God he has somewhere to live for now even though in the same place.

THIS. He summed it up in ONE SENTENCE. Amen.

Right!

you went to the point

Very relatable. That's me every day.

"It's chaos, be kind."

Yes, contemplating suicide due to what amounts to a "financial death sentence" in this capitalist rat race is not that unreasonable to me personally. The US needs to legalize assisted suicide more than ever for the middle class people tired of being on this hamster wheel going nowhere. Many elderly middle class people will opt for this service, it's the only way out for some.

@@fandam801 Sooner or later, we're going to have to choose between the easy way, and the *right* way to live. Adapt to living off the grid. Completely self-reliant and self-dependent. That's their worst fear. Living without having to be plugged in to their matrix. They hi-jacked this ride. Hijacked our reward system(s) and made it their own. It serves them and no one else.

This is what people exist with day by day moment by moment as a vast majority of this country at best is living pay check to pay check with many living in poverty despite it looking middle class even though that dream died long ago. Before covid that minimum on an national average was $54,000 a year before taxes and has to be well over $60,000 a year with how things are now.

True

and yet

name a country with out that...

Canadian investment firms in my area are buying up starter houses (built for younger milennials maybe older folks looking to downsize) and selling them for rent. It's not even evil American companies.

Quantum dot tracking

Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than $600k within just a year, and I've entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.

@@spacecadet6 How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?

I'm guided by *Mary Onita Wier* , an experienced coach with extensive financial market knowledge. While you can consider other options, her strategy has yielded positive results for me. She offers valuable insights, including entry and exit points for the securities I concentrate on.

Thank you for the information. I conducted my own research and your advisor appears to be highly skilled and knowledgeable. I've sent her an email and arranged a phone call. Her expertise is impressive, and I'm eagerly anticipating our conversation.

You can make $900 the first month, after that if you weigh over 175lbs it's 110 per week. Plenty of homeless folks do sell their plasma but there are a lot of homeless who can't due to lack of identification or drug use or even things such as exposure to hepatitis or HIV. Furthermore I don't think selling your bodily fluids is any kind of fix for the homeless epidemic we have in this country. In the richest nation ever known to written history it shouldn't be an issue for anyone who is willing to make the effort to amend their situation.

It's not always a choice. If property tax goes up, you gotta raise the rent. People are greedy though.

@@kingboy280 unfortunately, property taxes go up when some fool buys a property in a neighborhood for more than other properties are valued at. Every person who overpays for a house or rental property contributes to this problem. And in some places, the amount of rent a landlord collects affects the value of their property as well.

rare based landlord spotted

Nobody seems to have caught on that the Section 8 program took all the rentals. Suppy = demand... no more supply so high prices! You should complain about the Section 8 absorbtion to your legislators!

@Syed Mahfuz No. They can work for it. Cause who is going to give the owner the extra money?

Youre livig in a dream, rents are more like $2000/$3000. in any place where there are JOBS

Sometimes even when it happens to them they don't care. There is something really wrong with baby boomers and older gen x (over 45). Like fundamentally the number of philistine assholes in that group is incredible.

Well yeah. Renters can't be armed. When you are unarmed you are just a buzzing fly.

I think what you say is true. Even if you can pay the monthly payment in one of the homes they are building you are still renting from the bank. One accident or layoff or divorce you lose your place and have to start all over. I just started over at 55 it’s scary.

The Elites at Davos WANT nations of renters. It is all part of the plan ofAgenda 2030. You know, “You will own nothing and be happy”. ☹️😑😒. Go take a look at the World Economic Forum’s website. This is all going as planned. Unfortunately.☹️

You can be a home owner on the cheap(fair) if you're young and willing to work for it. There's lots of videos on youtube on how to buy cheap parcels and construct your own home for sub 100k. If you're older and have some family members to help out you can save alot otherwise find cheap labor where possible.

I’m happy you’re ok !

The only reason there are so many homeless in California is because Reagan closed all the insane asylums.

Money problems and stress causes mental illness and drug abuse.

Maybe it's time to break the power grid

I was homeless at 14 and am about to turn 25 still in the system. Last group home messed me up so bad I lost 10lbs in a matter of weeks and now I'm underweight. I had a section 8 voucher granted to me a year ago but most landlords rejected it because I obviously have no credit score and no rental history. After locating a unit it is still endless levels of beuarocracy to push through. I had to quit working because of how underweight I now am and used all of my savings on extended stay motels. Sometimes at night I catch myself thinking if I should forget the program, the subsidy, the voucher, just disappear. Maybe it's the stubbornness in me but what stops me is the idea that I would be letting them win. Them being the wealthy who are buying up and gentrifyng the land in my home state, California. It would be in their favor to eliminate all people like me and turn the state into one big luxury resort for the world's elite population. Funny thing is, before my health worsened, I was working multiple jobs all in service industry. Supplying their food. And people like me are the only ones who will do it for minimum wage- or less. Do they expect us to live in camps where we are sent out to work and do nothing else? It's already happening with young people, even middle age people still living in group homes or living with FAMILIES of roommates. Not 1 or 2, but multiple couples with children in small apartments. Disgusting conditions.

Boo hoo hoo

@fluminesesoc oh your turn will come , boo hoo. Probably after mommy and daddy die and you have to take care of yourself. It will suck to have to move out of mama's basement hehe

@@septembertorpy6899 I am very sorry that happend to you. I can't understand these rude people, they just don't understand that misfortune can happen to anyone. I was kind of sad to notice that the only reaction you got from your story was that so I just want you to know that I do sympathize with you. Having financial stability is extremely difficult when you don't have a lot of money or income to begin with and I wish you a lot of prosperity. If you can save what you have can look into ways that you can invest it, I know it is easy for me to say as I don't know anything about your current financial situation, but I thinking of to invest in silver as a safetynet for the futher, do your research ofcourse as I don't as much of a experience with finance than you, but always seek to places at the right time to invest. Sorry for my long post but have a nice day further!

@Darkfarfetch No one is stopping them from keeping their doors shut either.

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

@@SherlyDavis-ek4qz Please tell me how can I connect to your advisor. My funds are being murdered by inflation, therefore I'm looking for a more profitable investing strategy to put them to work.

Not exactly, I started out with a financial advisor called *Mary Onita Wier* Her honest approach gives me complete ownership and control of my positions, and her rates are incredibly affordable given my ROI. However, do your due diligence before contacting a financial advisor.

You will detect the common threads thru history that the powers that be have kept as their secrets. They foster ignorance to keep mankind in a sort of slavery. People were way ahead for a while then they created the 'Dark Ages', complete with their own scamdemics. Study history REAL HISTORY to know the future.

Why don't you do something yourself instead of blame everyone else

Shake on you for doing nothing.

The problem is not everyone contributes equally. If everyone has everything fair. Than those of us who go above and beyond won't. And eventually nothing. We will all be in the same boat. Capitalism sucks the least out of any economy to ever exist. You have to spend less time looking for ways to save money. And obsess over making money. Profits compound. Before you realize what's happening your jumping wage gaps. There are ways for 15 year old kids in the projects to establish credit without spending hardly any money. Get a buss ticket at 18 and move on. Stop blaming and do something. But naturally not everyone can succeed. Therefore you must earn the privilege to not be a loser. I do however think owning multiple property's is unacceptable. As well as corps owning property's. Gov zoning land that cannot be used for housing. Foreigners buying our land etc. But capitalism doesn't need to go anywhere

Capitalism when left alone literally manages itself by the people in the most efficient way possible. only when government and big corporations swing there dicks around problems arise

@@2wheelhoon813 Some good insight thanks for sharing. I think there is some good debate to be had in prioritizing home for citizen first / corps second/ foreigners. May not be as big(or known) of a problem now, but it will be when there is monopoly.

Cap

Totally understand you. I'm 31 I have a degree and a decent job and yet housing is extremely expensive in my area. The cheapest place is a 450 square foot studio that rents for $1,548 a month (Utilities not included) and they only do month to month leases.. so they can jack up the rent at any time..

not every "homeless" person is vulnerable

❤️

Hope your doing better.

There's your problem. "Up here in NY". That is a terrible place to try to live. I bought a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in a nice neighborhood for 154k. Pay 1100 a month for a nice place and that is affordable to me at least. California, the northeast and some other states are ass backwards I'd get out of there or just be helpless and homeless up to you.

Yup most people are 2 paychecks away from being homeless. Hell my income has tripled in the last 5 years and I still can't buy a house where I live because they keep outpacing my income.

These posts hurt my soul. It's horrible enough to be homeless as a adult but children being homeless is unforgivable!!! These law makers make me sick!!!

@@jeffrey266 I'm guessing you didn't actually read what I wrote. I have money to get a home. I Do Not have a 650 fico score. If you know what that is, @ Sadie Beauregard then you would understand, that without the high credit score you can't rent a new home anywhere in a good neighborhood in a safe neighborhood. I lived I this same house for over 10 years ! I always paid when they increased the rent. It was the first time I had ever been late in over 10 years, and never asked them to repair anything. I even paid for the landscaping myself to get done. When I moved in my rent was 1195.00 it went all the way to 1400.00 a month. I was late 1 time due to being hospitalized just a few months back for a bleeding in my stomach called, gastrointestinal tract bleed, or a GI BLEED. And I'm in the hospital right now because it couldn't be fixed correctly the first time, because I left way to soon to go home to pay my rent check! Now, if you want to rent a good home or apartment in a good area you need a credit score of 650 or higher. You also must be able to show that you make 3 times the amount of the rent or 4 times depending on the home, and the actual amount there asking for. I won't loose my kids thankyou very much, however I absolutely don't want to move my little family into a really bad area. I don't think you would like it if your parents moved you into a horrible neighborhood either. Right now I'm way to sick to do much of anything. But even with a bleeding GI, nausea , vomiting extream pain in my stomach and waiting to get this nasty drink to clean my system out, and then have this surgery done so they can get in there and stop the bleeding, and then let this heal properly this time, all while I'm looking for a new home for us to live in.
