Ogorek,
Means cucumber in Polish???
i somewhat agree about a roof over your head, but disagree it is a right, I believe it is a priveledge, if you can afford more you are priveledged to have a bigger home, same with driving in US is not a right its a priveledge, because it can be taken away from you if you break the law too many times, same as a house, if you don't pay for it it will be foreclosed upon, but i understand your frustration very much. In america it is not he homes that are screwing up the people, its the "Free Society" living, moreover the humanisitc belief that what you believe is right is right and what your nieghbor believes is right is right, this leads to no absolutes in the world, so secular humanism is running rampant in America today, and I can not stand it. So I believe that you came from the old school of thinking about families, and I like that, i do too, i am not for someone else raising my boys, its up to me to put a foot up their A** when they need it.
But there are alot of people who do work day and night to keep themselves housed, and in america is is because most spend too much and do not save enough. I know in Poland is different, i have a friend who's mother works 6 days a week 10 hours a day and brings home 1600zl a month, so thats about 450 american??, pretty loousy, thank God their ome is paid for.
Anyway, i am sorry for your plight and I hop esomeday you wont have to work that hard.
I can say that because no one gave me anything and I worked very hard for what i have. So i am sure you are proudof what you have and have worked to have.
You knwo in America no one has the right to own a home, they have to pay for it, and many mortgage themsleves up to the breaking point, but the real estate industry has fueled our economy and there are many jobs because of this.
Let me ask you a question, i do not know what you do for a living, but can you change your job and do better so you can afford a better home, or so you do not have to work so hard?? Can you change your circumstances to make a betterlife for yourself, i only am asking this sincerely, because honestly i do not know. I have no Idea where you live or what it is like in your neigborhood. I know I am jumping into this conversation, but there are market influences that no one can stop, there are always going to be poeple who make money on real estate, I build homes, I used to sell real estate for 20 years, i have seen homes that sold for 35,000 in 1985 go for 200,000 now. Inflation, buyers in the market, there are alot of influences that drive up prices, not just greed, rememeber there are people buying these homes to live in, and the market sets the prices, not the seller.
In a sellers market they get good prices becasue demand is up, but in a market we have now where there is alot of inventory, prices stagnet and come down, because there is less demand, I have droped my prices and changed my sttradegies on how big of a home to design and build because of market influences. So there are alot more things at play that no one can control, and that is unfortunate for u, so I am sorry that you have this problem, i hope it can change for u in the future!!
