What a wonderful world we have created for future generations. Having children is child abuse.
With this many people on the planet, the idea that every single person must have their own personal domicile otherwise they are a grand failure needs a revisit perhaps.
It used to be super common for multiple generations to live in a single household.
It's great to push a narrative of bold independence because you can sell a ton more shit if everyone has their own house.
I dont think there's anything wrong with not wanting to rent, though. My dream is to have enough land to have livestock and to be able to plant what I want when I want in my garden. I believe humans are happier living together in groups/with family, but it's also important to have a little thing to call your own even if its shared, I think.
Without a personally owned domicile (to include private living quarters with communal food prep or similar) is it even possible to retire? The rent hikes makes retirement impossible otherwise.
I'll let you know because it looks like I'm going to find out.
Hey, I think I've seen this one before.
