      Sounds like they should get an actual job, rather than expecting someone else to pay for their retirement; someone who probably won’t get to retire themselves

          Why do we have to sacrifice our future ability to retire and own a house because they bought all the houses and retired first?

            How are the two related? It’s not a zero sum game, there’s new houses being built all the time.

              There are studies recently released that show that the people who are buying houses 20 years ago are the same people buying houses today. It is a zero-sum game because nobody else is able to buy a house, especially not if they’re younger.

          And now they are taking away the next generations ability to buy and pay for a house by making them fund their retirement.

            How are they taking it away? There have always been people who rent and people who buy. Someone renting doesn’t prevent you from buying.
