Housing prices keep rising, but wages haven’t kept up. For many young people, owning a home is no longer a realistic goal - it’s becoming a luxury.
What used to be a natural part of adult life has turned into a debt trap or simply a fantasy. More and more young people are realizing that buying property under current conditions makes little financial sense.
We're witnessing a shift: instead of saving for a home, people are turning to alternative assets, remote lifestyles, or simply accepting long-term renting.
Is this the beginning of a structural economic change - or just another bubble waiting to pop?

if you had to choose only one
would you rather have a house or a safe investment that pays your rent in full each month and you still have an extra to spend or save the way you want?
truth is houses are expensive nowadays, they're not the best investment
probably better to have the money invested and live out of the interest that put it all on a house
even though renting has its pros and cons it ends up being cheap and you can choose what to do and where to go
yes, maybe you are right, I don't have children yet so for now I don't mind that much owning real state but at some point things may be different
I don't discard the idea of renting longterm even with the means to buy simply because the investment will be better
it's not so hard to find a good place to rent too if you have the means to pay for the rent
in my area even in the times it is hard you can find a good place in a couple of months and move
