Wish I could own a house. I've been renting apartments since I got out of the military. All those years paying anywhere between 800 and 1200 dollars a month. All that money could have been equity. But I can't even get my foot into the door of a house because of the astronomical value, combined with my medium month income.
A house...... tis a pipe dream. If owning a home is the american dream, it is a dream that remains unrealized, and untenable.
