Well, I don't. I consider living in a place I don't like or a property I don't like to contribute to poor quality of life, and I'm definitely not alone in thinking that.
Having >40% of my income eaten up to pay for a mediocre living situation is not good quality of life.
- woodpanel 10y agoThats your decision to put this costly housing in your basket. And your not alone making this decision, but a) its a trend and b) the aforementioned 70% of western workers aren't necessarily repeating your choice.
- gaur 10y ago> Thats your decision to put this costly housing in your basket. That's true for a lot of people, so redefining "quality of life" to exclude housing and then claiming that everyone's quality of life is going up seems dishonest.
