[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just venting here. Seems like every major coming of age event in my life is met with huge hurdles. I finally was able to save for a down payment after working for a lousy post-recession corporate job, and now the housing market has completely exploded and interest rates are going up. I don't know what to do to get ahead in life anymore. [/quote]

I'm GenX. This happened to us. The dotcom bust came along before we were able to sock away much money from the booming 90s. The 2000s were economically lethargic, but a lot of us were able to get into the housing game just before the Great Recession.

Just keep grinding it out.

What? Im genx and feel sooo fortunate to have been born in 1976. Graduated college in 1999 and landed a good job. Sure it went bust, but i had professional experience and the bounce back was fast. I also bought a SFH house in VIENNA in 2000 for 250k. I met my DH in college and we put finances together to afford that house and we thought that mortgage of $1700/mo was SO high, so we rented a room out. Genx has it so easy.[/quote]
