Zillow and Blackrock were doing this as well. I think it's pretty evident what the overall goal is here. This is a war on the middle class. The American dream. Since I have been a kid I have seen this become increasingly more frustrating and damn near unrealistically unattainable for a specific age group in this country.

I mean, it's attainable. To an extent. The table was always rigged. It's just now more blatantly obvious and more widely accepted as factual instead of some kind of boogeyman. Governments and Corporations work actively to make your way of life that much more difficult. They don't mind you slaving away behind a computer screen all day though while your pensions and bonuses disappear while the cost of living and work load goes up.

Here's the real pisser of it. They're looking to avoid what happened back in 2008 during the housing market crash. I actually took advantage of that in 2012. Was just luck and timing due to my age and circumstance. I was able to buy a home during a buyer's market. My house was purchased for $98,000 back in 2012. It's now listed on Zillow at $310,000+. I'll never see that opportunity again. I don't think anybody will.

In the event this market crashes again, which it will eventually. The opportunities will be extremely limited or it'll cost you a lot more up front and in the long run to buy a home. I get offers all the time for my home. However, given the unstable nature of our economy, our world, and with this virus? I am not risking it. I will happily sit put with my family here given how cheap the monthly payment is to get by.
