I worked five years, outside in construction, while caring for two young kids on my own, to save up down payment for a house, which I did.
In those five years, the price of a house went from the low $300,000 to $800,000, meaning my down payment became less than half of what I needed and my wages would no longer cover said mortgage.
I'm now living in my cheap apartment, spending nothing, living on my savings, spending the time with my kids that I was sacrificing for a carrot on a stick. No unemployment when you quit. I've got no reason to play this game.
You want to know where everyone went? We're waiting for everything to crash, when people remember who is actually needed when shit hits the fan. And we'll be expecting to be paid for the privilege of saving you.
