I think you'll find people aren't rational when it comes to Real Estate. Why do you think that guy saved his house from the forest fire when he could have claimed insurance on a burnt out house? Because of all the memories and trees he planted to mark coming of age of his kids and whatnot. They got house fever and rationalized that the distance wasn't as long as it actually was. When they did their cost benefit analysis they didn't factor that petrol was going to double.
Are you...serious? So you're telling us you own a home in a quaint mountain community just outside of San Diego County surrounded by timid wildlife and serene landscapes, but because you have a long commute to a stable job in one of the most beautiful locals in the Country (let alone the world) you deserve...our empathy?! I'm still trying to understand where the real 'struggle' is here, whatever will you do!
Dustin Hagadone they own a shit shack in middle of fucking nowhere for 240k and they have a 90 minute commute each way to pay for a crappy little house and their kid they never get to see because they are always working and commuting
It seems they want more housing built there, so more people will move in, which will cause more infrastructure to be built and local things like groceries opened, which will make life easier for them
How times have changed? those who stayed in the Mountain can now work from home and they can keep their beautiful Mountain View and gained huge amounts of equity.
when people see a house they want, their brains shut down and they go full FOMO. They run over their moms to make it to the bank to sign the mortgage papers.
I learned how to save money from a hard life lesson of not saving money and spending more than I took in. You either learn from it or you keep repeating the cycle.
@@jesusf.2600 and yet, he is still wealthier than you could ever hope to be in 10 lifetimes combined. A true dumbass wouldn't keep bouncing back from each of those "going broke." Now carry on and stop projecting your financial insecurities and jealousy onto the internet in the form of keyboard warrior comments.
Am I seriously supposed to feel pity for people who don't know how to manage money ? One family brings in 50,000 a year and scraping by... really I got news for ya. Don't drive a new car, buy a used one, don't eat out, pay off credit cards, and sell what you don't use any more... I'm failing to see the awareness their trying to raise
5065ca you obviously don’t live in San Diego. Making 50k a year is scraping by trust me. You need to rent an apartment and may even need a roommate to live off 50k.
Felix Cat then they should move to a cheaper city. You can’t live in the most expensive state in the country and not live in a cheap city. I’ve seen people make a conscious choice to move to LA or San fransisco to “follow their dreams😒🤦🏾♀️” and then complain about how expensive everything is. And yes Ik not everyone can just pack up and move but if the emotional and financial hassle of moving is worse than the crappy situation ur in now, then stay. If not then people should move.
What a self righteous twat. At least you'll find like minded psychopaths in the comments to shit on people with. Working class people aren't barely scraping by aren't buying new cars. Some may be making poor choices from lack of education, the lack of accessibility to better options or a combination of factors but it's not what's creating their circumstance. Outsourcing, increasing automatation and rising costs if living are far more decisive than buying an iPhone instead of a low end Android or some shit. Low skilled jobs will continue to disappear, more people will fall into poverty and we're already seeing an opioid epidemic in areas where jobs are going away, leaving people with a competitive degree with no other options.
Felix Cat , why aren't they SELLING THE DAMN HOUSE in the mountains ~ That should give them a decent nest egg ... Memories don't disappear after the property is no longer there's !
Veve Dehavilland no it's not. The rich and higher middle class can afford a 500k house or so. If you make 100-250k a year you can afford a 300-500k house (it would be a stretch) but some people can cut corners well like that
I am in my 70s...we lived so very differently. We bought homes that didnt take more then 1/4 to 1/3 of our income. We didnt buy luxury foods...except as a treat once a year. We never used credit cards. We lived close to where we worked, so no long commune. We didnt have babies UNTILL we could afford to feed, clothe, and house the child. We did not live beyond our incomes. And we recycled everything. We made due. We took responsibility for our own decisions..bad or good
Rachel D yes and back then houses were cheap and all of them were new. You could buy a house with a close commute because nothing existed farther out than 20 miles from a city center and credit cards didn't exist so you couldn't have used them
Where? At Walmart or McDonald's where she will be competing with illegal immigrants willing to work for less than minimum wage? She volunteers there because they give her food and she's giving her time and energy in exchange for junk food.
Victoria Exactly, not a wise move on that guy's part. A mortgage payment for a home you don't live in is a steep price for memories. I guess he still hasn't learned.
I would have been tempted at one point with an apartment I had. I couldn't even sell it during the post crash years despite heavily discounting the price and taking on the debt after the sale. I toughed it out and price recovered now. I know people that sold in Hong Kong after their crash, price has now exceeded the previous peak and that makes them cry.
Burning the house does not get rid of mortgage. You will still pay the mortgage, just after you are release from jail after serving time for arson and mortgage fraud.
so a 23 & 21 are married kids, & they already have a 2-yo kid. Then the others choosing a house with no commute considerations... What planning is this?
They are not kids but young adults, so enough with the condescending banter. Furthermore, it's not unusual for military couples to have kids early b/c it qualifies them for BAH and they get more money back from tax refunds. This is normal, but if you're not miliary affiliated then you have no idea.
That's INSAINE for a 1 bedroom home!!!! ANYWHERE else would get you 3/4 bedrooms 2 baths in a nice area with beautiful surroundings.... anywhere other then cali
Where I live the average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment is roughly $1800- $2000 a month not including utilities or parking. I feel a bit fortunate that when I moved in 8 years ago, Rent was only $800 a month, now has gone up to $1200, includes all utilities and underground parking.
I still haven't heard what that young female that was 21 (with the Marine Husband) has done to help out with finding money other than twitter. Did she search for jobs that she could do from home while watching the child. Bake and sell things? Poor Marine having to sell his plasma in order to help and working weekends as a mover.
@ Pamm Meee Not all parents believe farming out their children to strangers is an option, I always find the victim blaming comments so interesting. I suppose instead of pointing the finger at the successive governments failing to manage the economy properly and keep wage growth in line with the cost of living it is always easier to blame the people who are struggling in that failed system instead.
The problem is selling your home during a crash as you may have to take a huge loss even if there are buyers. The mountain home seems to suck badly as the renters only pay nominal rent which shows how unattractive it is.
You need nurses, bus drivers and trash collectors in NY and SanFrancisco too. Where are these suppose to live ? People forget that you can’t run a city with bankers and consultants
God, I wish I had known this when I left Illinois in 1978 to come to CA, I would have stopped in Texas, Arizona, or Colorado. Oh well, I did retire and moved out of CA in 2014.
Prop 13 is a much smaller factor than lack of supply and growing population. Just the tax issue would not cause so few homes to be built. If we didn't have prop 13, the seniors who bought that $23,000 house in the 1970s would now be paying property taxes on a $1,000,000 house which would be nearly $1000 a month for a home they own.
The working mom on the edge of San Diego County looks like a mental case. Give up the house. Its not as important than your family. Drop the sanity facade.
Back in October 2020 I bought My 2012 Honda Accord EXL-V6 for $12000 with only 26000 Miles, now it only has 32000 miles and it's able to be sold for $17000.
Our parents bought their first home in Eugene, Oregon for $14,000 in 1975. My brother and I bought our first homes, respectively, 4 years ago for well over $300k. Achieving the same lifestyle our parents had was much more challenging for each of us.
Christian Soldier California is best balance of great jobs, awesome outdoors, amazing diversity and awesome weather. There is a reason why everybody wants to come and live in cali.
It's NOT prop 13. It's many other factors. Including Calif legislators and government officials who made this a welfare state. Also, the houses developers are building now are three times larger with all sorts of pricey amenities, which drive up the cost. Greedy politicians always turn to prop 13.
Al Kane California is a rich state. We have budget surplus. And we contribute more to federal coffers than we are reimbursed. States like California feed and house the folks in poor states like Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi.
As pertains to the huge commute to work...an equally huge cup of coffee goes a long way toward soothing the nerves; radio, too, if your car has one; a good heater-A/C if your car has one. And, above all, begin your commute well ahead of time. I'd get up at 4:00 am, get myself ready and on the road no later than 5:00 am. I'd look in my rear view mirror and see the 1st wave of traffic coming up and over the hill I'd passed about 4 minutes before. :- ) It's a grand feeling...like getting all you Christmas shopping done early, going to the Galleria/Houston, sitting in the bistro with a cup of coffee and watching everybody else go crazy. Oh...and by the way..my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was always in the pilot's seat. Keep your faith in Yahweh. He'll surprise you with the gymnastics He'll pull off on your behalf.
Wow, I paid $89,900 for my first house in 2005! It was brand new, 3 bedroom 2 bath with a 1 car garage. It was only 4.2 miles from where I worked, it was great! I still own that house even though I no longer live there. I don't understand why so many refuse to move. I now own houses in Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina. Rent is much cheaper in these areas and to buy is less than half what it is in San Diego. There are a lot of places that are affordable. Most places in Tennessee and Kentucky a couple can live a pretty comfortable life on $2000/month after taxes and health insurance.
@@CocoaPuff01 yes, minimum wage is $7.25/hour but not even high school students will work for less than $15 these days and entry-level jobs are advertised starting as high as $21/hour. Many of the local fast food restaurants are starting at $15/hr. Now a lot has changed in the last 3 years since I made this post. Housing prices and rent have both shot up. Although they are off their highs during the summer they are still way up. On the Tennessee side a 2 bedroom can range $850 on the low end or as much as $1495 on the high end. We own several properties in the area. Our cheapest is a 2 bedroom condo that rents for $995. We have a 3/2/1 single family house that rents $1250. A 3/2.5/2 single family house with bonus room that rents for $1750. A 2/2.5 townhouse that we rent for $1300. So there is a very decent range of housing in various different budgets.
Mike Loder Great! Got a house that paid for , I own my car, got investments, money in the bank, no kids and a family cottage to go to on the weekends. I'm very blessed!
What's especially sad is that this enormous failure of education is happening cities that have very high bachelors degree percentages. Voters literally don't understand the basics of supply and demand. The problem is jobs. There's too many people being drawn into CA with jobs for out of state people for companies like facebook, google, etc and nowhere near enough housing. We really need to either stop the jobs or increase more housing. Otherwise, things will get worse for everyone. Prop 13 is also egregious as well as the 1% state property tax which needs to be overhauled to go to local areas.
I had to leave San Diego, basically forced to leave with 3 kids. I was emotionally hurt because I never wanted to leave my home where I grew up and was raised. I hope and pray that one day I will break the generational money curse. It’s all about oppression!
It’s so wrong. They don’t have these problems in europe and they live much much better...free health care, way better food for the kids in schools, vacation pay, lots more time off., maybe not a house of their own but usually good homes.. I’m very disappointed in USA..We live so much worse...with a lot more stress..The rich are sucking us dry and have no remorse.In the early part of the century the rich paid very high taxes
I bet they all have TV they pay for and expensive cell phones with mega plans. How many times do they all get their nails done? How many time do you buy a coke or coffee outside of home? When you can have coffee from home in a travel cup and water out of of the tap, chilled in your own refrigerator.
Are they really blaming all this on Prop 13? What about unlimited immigration? Even if they build all the houses needed you could not manage the amount of growth. Not to mention communities would be non-existent and people would leave cheek to jowl in a fragmented mass. Infrastructure could not be built fast enough with such a fragmented community. And traffic would still be an issue. Also immigration is great tool for creating wealth divided. Why is mass immigration never mentioned? The intellectual dissonance is crazy. Dishonest, emotionally manipulative, reporting.
That's why I was determined to leave San Diego after graduating from SDSU. It was difficult for me to find a job in which I gained my degree in. I now live in Clark County Nevada aka Las Vegas. I live in a house that may cost $700,000 plus i San Diego. I now work for the local government here with 15 minute commute from home to work. I would say the quality of living is good for me.
You pay for the weather by accepting lower wages, no insurance, etc. the weather counts as part of your compensation and they know it! Thank goodness for Prop 13. It won’t change anything.
I thought this video was going to be about poverty, or hardworking families struggling to get by. Not middle class dummies who have made poor life choices and deflected their blame onto everyone else.
@Motootua Sipaia Very true When I was debating about buying a new house I was visiting Australia and noticed that a fixer upper house was selling for 700k I went ahead and bought my new 300k house and never looked back
Honestly i don't see what the big deal is about the great california living dream is about and there's nothing special about that damn state it's all fake and plastic and the only people who really can afford it are the celebrities with their beverly hills homes and hollywood homes i mean i never liked california i just don't see why out of all states people think with the mentality of "i have to live the american dream in california" there are other places where you can live the american dream in other states and are far cheaper and be happy but ever since the 1940's being in california and living the california dream is something everyone wants to do i mean get over it it's all plastic and fake
The saying 'you make your own bed..lay in it'. People make choices. One would think quality of life would first priority, especially if they have families. People who desire city life..beaches..sunny weather year round know there is compromise..a premium for that lifestyle. I feel for folks living in places like California or New York. To really enjoy the amenities...you have to be well off financially..above average income level..not be living from paycheck to paycheck. I live in the mid-west..very nice, good neighborhood...affordable 2 bedroom, apartment..laundry room and fireplace, with a balcony..I live in driving distance to larger cities offer entertainment, shopping. 2 professional sports teams..we just won super bowl..by the way! I can afford a nice car, take vacation...l want for nothing. On an average income.
$50,000. That's £39,710.11 I My brother is a Head Chef in Cambridge (very wealthy area) and he doesn't earn that much. I don't know many people in the UK that do! So in the U.S. where you pay next to nothing for gas ... what are these people doing with their money?
Unfortunately that’s the problem with most Americans. Buy it now, worry about the responsibilities and problems later! What I can’t stand is this “feel sorry for me because I made stupid decisions because I’m not really an adult!“.
and older generations want to point at the Gen Y. aka Older Millennials (born in 1980-1995) and say we are lazy because many of us still live with our parents well into our 30s. Well, this is why we have been living with our parents. The cost of living is way too high then the money we are making. The coast of living in the 1970s for the baby boomers when they were in their 20s was a lot cheaper for them. They could move out of their parents house in their 20s and manage to pay for rent, electric/ heat, phone, food, and gas for your car. Our generation today has more what I call modern technological luxuries such as cable TV, cell phones, and internet service. All of which you have to pay a bills for every month just to have these luxuries. We could eliminate them out of our lives and live simply but it is hard in today's world to do so. Our technology today has become so intertwined in our day to day lives that it seems that we can't function without them.
14 years later, in 2023, I listen them say ' rents are too high, gas is too high, food is too high, wages are too low,...and I think: be patient, haven't seen nothing yet...
Ummm... Can we get an example of a real financial struggle? cause this aint it!!! How in the high heaven do you purchase a house without thinking of the commute. These people have other issues (mental) and money ain't one... Lol

This is one of the problems: we put value on things that's not important, family and family welfare is more important than a house.

Vanessa Henderson seriously! That’s the very first thing I look at, even before the pics lol
He could have gotten a motorcycle and removed 2/3 off his commute since lane splitting is legal in CA
Commute times change over the years, and it’s only downward change of commute time in places that people are leaving.

And that's a very winding road up and down to Palomar Mountain. It must have wreaked havoc on their vehicles.
It's got 1 bedroom where does the kid sleep in the ⛺.
Wait, did they just say every generation is supposed to live twice as well as their parents?? I disappoint yet again!
Florida is a better and cheaper place to live No state income taxes
Christian Soldier California is best balance of great jobs, awesome outdoors, amazing diversity and awesome weather. There is a reason why everybody wants to come and live in cali.
Hurricanes, etc....
Tons of homeless that’s nice in California
Thats because more people want to live here desperately. There is no homelessness in bad places to live because nobody wants to live there.
Utah looks pretty nice 👍
Why the hell is she smiling so damn much?

This documentary was posted on RUclips 4 years after RUclips was created.
It's NOT prop 13. It's many other factors. Including Calif legislators and government officials who made this a welfare state. Also, the houses developers are building now are three times larger with all sorts of pricey amenities, which drive up the cost. Greedy politicians always turn to prop 13.
Al Kane California is a rich state. We have budget surplus. And we contribute more to federal coffers than we are reimbursed. States like California feed and house the folks in poor states like Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi.
Animesh Das Someone has to feed the states with the highest black populations
The gravy train myth is a great slush fund for the state!
As pertains to the huge commute to work...an equally huge cup of coffee goes a long way toward soothing the nerves; radio, too, if your car has one; a good heater-A/C if your car has one. And, above all, begin your commute well ahead of time. I'd get up at 4:00 am, get myself ready and on the road no later than 5:00 am. I'd look in my rear view mirror and see the 1st wave of traffic coming up and over the hill I'd passed about 4 minutes before. :- ) It's a grand feeling...like getting all you Christmas shopping done early, going to the Galleria/Houston, sitting in the bistro with a cup of coffee and watching everybody else go crazy.
Oh...and by the way..my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was always in the pilot's seat. Keep your faith in Yahweh. He'll surprise you with the gymnastics He'll pull off on your behalf.
Wow, I paid $89,900 for my first house in 2005! It was brand new, 3 bedroom 2 bath with a 1 car garage. It was only 4.2 miles from where I worked, it was great! I still own that house even though I no longer live there. I don't understand why so many refuse to move. I now own houses in Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina. Rent is much cheaper in these areas and to buy is less than half what it is in San Diego. There are a lot of places that are affordable. Most places in Tennessee and Kentucky a couple can live a pretty comfortable life on $2000/month after taxes and health insurance.
But who’s going to supply all the jobs? Wish they could
@@janiebird76 start your own business, it's easy!
@@Scott-by9ks lol, well luckily i’m retired but thank you...
The states where min wage is $7, shocker
@@CocoaPuff01 yes, minimum wage is $7.25/hour but not even high school students will work for less than $15 these days and entry-level jobs are advertised starting as high as $21/hour. Many of the local fast food restaurants are starting at $15/hr.
Now a lot has changed in the last 3 years since I made this post. Housing prices and rent have both shot up. Although they are off their highs during the summer they are still way up.
On the Tennessee side a 2 bedroom can range $850 on the low end or as much as $1495 on the high end.
We own several properties in the area. Our cheapest is a 2 bedroom condo that rents for $995. We have a 3/2/1 single family house that rents $1250. A 3/2.5/2 single family house with bonus room that rents for $1750. A 2/2.5 townhouse that we rent for $1300.
So there is a very decent range of housing in various different budgets.

All by design.
Way to go Thomas , you are the man , you won't give up your home ,I like that ,
interesting stats. how is that empowerment working out ladies?
Mike Loder Great! Got a house that paid for , I own my car, got investments, money in the bank, no kids and a family cottage to go to on the weekends. I'm very blessed!
What's especially sad is that this enormous failure of education is happening cities that have very high bachelors degree percentages. Voters literally don't understand the basics of supply and demand. The problem is jobs. There's too many people being drawn into CA with jobs for out of state people for companies like facebook, google, etc and nowhere near enough housing. We really need to either stop the jobs or increase more housing. Otherwise, things will get worse for everyone. Prop 13 is also egregious as well as the 1% state property tax which needs to be overhauled to go to local areas.
I had to leave San Diego, basically forced to leave with 3 kids. I was emotionally hurt because I never wanted to leave my home where I grew up and was raised. I hope and pray that one day I will break the generational money curse. It’s all about oppression!
It’s so wrong. They don’t have these problems in europe and they live much much better...free health care, way better food for the kids in schools, vacation pay, lots more time off., maybe not a house of their own but usually good homes.. I’m very disappointed in USA..We live so much worse...with a lot more stress..The rich are sucking us dry and have no remorse.In the early part of the century the rich paid very high taxes
@@janiebird76 Cuba is the place for you if commie California doesn't already steal enough money from hard working people to subside your lazy ass
Stop having kids
Isn't being a debt slave just great!!....Murica!!!
They thought they were priced out in 2004? 💀💀
Try 2023 💀
In order, to make the right choice. You have to do your homework.
11 years later and things have gotten worse I'd say.
I bet they all have TV they pay for and expensive cell phones with mega plans. How many times do they all get their nails done? How many time do you buy a coke or coffee outside of home? When you can have coffee from home in a travel cup and water out of of the tap, chilled in your own refrigerator.
But they all want to blame the Boomers.
in 1974 a house in michigan was 46 k califorinia was 54 k
In 1970 a new home in IL wAs 40k, while my aunt's really nice home in CA was 26k.
I used to live in San Diego
Who cares
Are they really blaming all this on Prop 13? What about unlimited immigration? Even if they build all the houses needed you could not manage the amount of growth. Not to mention communities would be non-existent and people would leave cheek to jowl in a fragmented mass. Infrastructure could not be built fast enough with such a fragmented community. And traffic would still be an issue. Also immigration is great tool for creating wealth divided. Why is mass immigration never mentioned? The intellectual dissonance is crazy. Dishonest, emotionally manipulative, reporting.
"By 2000 the median homeprice in california was $234,000, the national was 147K and in 2004 gas was $2 per galon"
Me watching this in 2022 💀😐😐😐
move
That's why I was determined to leave San Diego after graduating from SDSU. It was difficult for me to find a job in which I gained my degree in. I now live in Clark County Nevada aka Las Vegas. I live in a house that may cost $700,000 plus i San Diego. I now work for the local government here with 15 minute commute from home to work. I would say the quality of living is good for me.
You pay for the weather by accepting lower wages, no insurance, etc. the weather counts as part of your compensation and they know it! Thank goodness for Prop 13. It won’t change anything.
Its easy to save money. Just live like you don't have any.
I thought this video was going to be about poverty, or hardworking families struggling to get by. Not middle class dummies who have made poor life choices and deflected their blame onto everyone else.
And live near your job ! And quit complaining
thats why i bought my house in 2008 when the economy was in the dumps - it is great., i am living my American dream
excellent application of a movie based on true citizen frustration; 'Falling Down'
Lol,who sings the songs I gotta start singing it in my neighbourhood in 2018
12:32 what is twitter lolololol very 2008
Idk for me no town or house is worth that commute and that much stress. These folks need some Dave Ramsay mixed with Joshua Becker.
These houses are cheaper then houses here Australia
@Motootua Sipaia
Very true
When I was debating about buying a new house I was visiting Australia and noticed that a fixer upper house was selling for 700k
I went ahead and bought my new 300k house and never looked back
Just move.... da
Honestly i don't see what the big deal is about the great california living dream is about and there's nothing special about that damn state it's all fake and plastic and the only people who really can afford it are the celebrities with their beverly hills homes and hollywood homes i mean i never liked california i just don't see why out of all states people think with the mentality of "i have to live the american dream in california" there are other places where you can live the american dream in other states and are far cheaper and be happy but ever since the 1940's being in california and living the california dream is something everyone wants to do i mean get over it it's all plastic and fake
I have the biggest blank stare......😐

She's right ower paychecks are the same but everything is going up...don't make Sence does it ..it will never Change
The saying 'you make your own bed..lay in it'. People make choices. One would think quality of life would first priority, especially if they have families. People who desire city life..beaches..sunny weather year round know there is compromise..a premium for that lifestyle. I feel for folks living in places like California or New York. To really enjoy the amenities...you have to be well off financially..above average income level..not be living from paycheck to paycheck. I live in the mid-west..very nice, good neighborhood...affordable 2 bedroom, apartment..laundry room and fireplace, with a balcony..I live in driving distance to larger cities offer entertainment, shopping. 2 professional sports teams..we just won super bowl..by the way! I can afford a nice car, take vacation...l want for nothing. On an average income.
$50,000. That's £39,710.11 I My brother is a Head Chef in Cambridge (very wealthy area) and he doesn't earn that much. I don't know many people in the UK that do! So in the U.S. where you pay next to nothing for gas ... what are these people doing with their money?
Unfortunately that’s the problem with most Americans. Buy it now, worry about the responsibilities and problems later! What I can’t stand is this “feel sorry for me because I made stupid decisions because I’m not really an adult!“.
Read the comments and all the losers want to "tax the rich" to subsidize their lazy asses too
Why does the Alabama guy sound British?
and older generations want to point at the Gen Y. aka Older Millennials (born in 1980-1995) and say we are lazy because many of us still live with our parents well into our 30s. Well, this is why we have been living with our parents. The cost of living is way too high then the money we are making. The coast of living in the 1970s for the baby boomers when they were in their 20s was a lot cheaper for them. They could move out of their parents house in their 20s and manage to pay for rent, electric/ heat, phone, food, and gas for your car. Our generation today has more what I call modern technological luxuries such as cable TV, cell phones, and internet service. All of which you have to pay a bills for every month just to have these luxuries. We could eliminate them out of our lives and live simply but it is hard in today's world to do so. Our technology today has become so intertwined in our day to day lives that it seems that we can't function without them.
Loser!
14 years later, in 2023, I listen them say ' rents are too high, gas is too high, food is too high,
wages are too low,...and I think: be patient, haven't seen nothing yet...
Don't forget the illegal immigrants !
Ummm... Can we get an example of a real financial struggle? cause this aint it!!! How in the high heaven do you purchase a house without thinking of the commute. These people have other issues (mental) and money ain't one... Lol
Its all worth it
What you call. You don't own your house. House owns you.
Should have let the house burn to the ground.
Townhouse for 1700 !!!!
Probably about 2500 now
Life is complicated....
This video was in 2008 had they waited 3 years they would've been able to afford a mansion in San Diego
If they waited 14 they could buy a shoe box, in Temecula!
