Rents 10y ago (here) were around $450/no for a decent 1br apartment in my city. They're now bordering up to $2000/mo . In fact, there's people who moved here from NYC, and are moving back because it's easier to work decent jobs and pay rent in NYC. And you can pay rent on time $1000/mo for 10 years, and it's absolutely no proof that you can pay a $1000/mo mortgage. The boomers didn't have to deal with "credit" but we do now. Again, all these systems are stacked against you and everyone else. It's all one big massive scam. It's the American psychosis, that hard work gets you somewhere. And for many, hard work is low pay, a torn up body, and you die.
