Millennials owning homes nowadays is almost always b/c we have lost family that has a home or money to give us. It’s not a privilege to get a home if it means your family has to die first.
Our economy is shit. There are no jobs, no way to work up the ladder. The only way to save enough for the down payment on a house is for someone to die & give you their money. That’s the fuckjng reality.
With very few exceptions, no one is privileged to have a house but at the cost of dead parents. That is nowhere near a privilege. That’s horrific.
We just got some money from my father in law’s estate. It helped us a lot financially. But it came at the cost of my father in law. We are not privileged to have that. We’d all prefer my father in law was still alive, thanks.
Instead of yelling at people that suddenly find themselves financially stable when their family dies, maybe spend your energy criticizing a system that gives a generation no future other than waiting to lose their elders.
We just lost my 2nd husband’s father less than a year ago, just weeks after our wedding. My 1st husband’s father died a few years back. Most of mt family is dead. Maybe don’t jump into my mentions to say it’s a privilege if any of those people die, mkay? jfc
“Consider how lucky you are!” Actually, no, I will not consider that when we are still saying Kaddish for my husband’s father & will continue to do so on our first wedding anniversary, thanks.
Now muting this thread so I no longer have to read people telling me to consider myself lucky to have most of our three families die.
