- dpark 11y agoThey shouldn't. It's a rich man's privilege to buy an absurdly expensive home. Poor people don't buy expensive homes, if they manage to buy at all. If you make six figures and are "house poor", it means you're either bad at making financial decisions or you feel the house is worth the sacrifices. Either way you aren't poor and shouldn't feel poor.
- spacecowboy_lon 11y agoso us plebs working in sv / london should just tug forelock and say "thank ee kindly Master Frodo for that bag of potatoes" and not get above ourselves.
- JanezStupar 11y agoThe point is you are not poor if you are considering purchasing a 1MM$ property. I am not poor, but I am not rich enough to get access to 1MM$ mortgages. There is a difference between a bachelor pad in Bratislava Slovakia and a suite in Trump Tower - yet both are merely "appartments".
