>some people live in a bubble detached from all reality.
It would be helpful (and I think recommended in the HN guidelines) to provide some relatable basis for your opinions from your life experience.
Like for example, your context for normal rents, normal cities, normal commutes, normal states, normal experience with health insurance when you can't get it from your employer, what you think a normal car & car loan is, why "boring" is relevant to "hell" and struggling in life, whether and why rental deposits are an abnormal hardship to you, if you have ever had a proverbial 9-5 job...
I'm not demanding an answer to each specific item above.
But when you casually accuse people of living in a bubble, you should show them a different one even if you only have one or two real data points from experience.

- vba616 5y agoOk...that doesn't paint much of a picture. If I could rewind things to when I was 18, and go to community college for two years, transfer to the university for the last two, and live at home, it would be extremely cost-efficient, but we all have to make decisions without hindsight, with perhaps the advice of our elders who grew up in a completely different world.
