the other 60% are just delusional about their chances
I’m about to buy a home, but it’s taking 4 employed adults combined to afford a 3 bedroom house. It’s insane.
I bought my 1,200 sqft house in a town of 80,000 people for $60,000.

You gotta be willing to look at the whole country instead of just major cities. But most people complaining about not having enough money think they’re entitled to live in expensive areas.
They won’t.
Most people renting are going to be renting until they die.
They’re just too stupid with their money and think they’re entitled to more than they can afford.
Edit: And they get mad whenever anyone calls it out.
What do you suggest people do with their money instead? It’s not like you can stop paying rent to save up for a down payment. And with rent on the rise everywhere, it’s not necessarily an option for most to find something cheaper.
If they really want to get out of their situation, they will have to live frugally while saving money.
This means doing things like finding the cheapest place to rent (probably with roommates) and always cooking your own meals. If you really are struggling, then make sure you also get the government benefits that you are eligible for.
But most people think they’re “too good for that” while complaining they don’t have enough money, which is where entitlement comes in.
Please don’t pretend that most renters are doing everything they can to save money. They aren’t. Every renter I know that complains about not having enough money isn’t living in the cheapest spot, orders food all the time, and subscribes to things they can be getting for free.
It’s overwhelmingly people who are bad with money and think they’re entitled to more before others have less.
