RE: House, Apartment, Studio, Room... Street? .:. Late Night Blogging
I think the trend is similar across the world. Young people are screwed if we strictly try to adhere to the old model of getting just a traditional job, then save enough to buy a house and start a family.
That dream is more or less dead, the structure has changed fundamentally partly thanks to depreciative value of money.
What I sometimes find more interesting is that most of these goods/services and properties that we buy nowadays aren't much better than their old incarnations decades ago. Sometimes they're much worse and we're still indirectly forced to purchase them!
I'm also grateful that there are alternatives like crypto that exist and give a glimmer of hope to build a better life with more flexibility according to one's terms.
Tbh, I liked that model and it looked like a good and healthy way of living... But, I do agree that the model isn't valid anymore... Sometimes, it looks like it has been destroyed on purpose... The "institution" of family, having your home, your children... All that is depreciated recently... 😞
When you travel around Europe and check some of the old buildings, churches, and castles, you can see buildings that are 500-600, or a millennium old, and they are still standing!!! I can't imagine any residential building built in the last 20-30 years, standing more than 70-80 years!
It does indeed look like this destruction was done on purpose, classic division strategy, people have become more individualistic as a byproduct which has come at the cost of the community.
Right. I sometimes think on this strategy of buying those old buildings that have existed for centuries, no matter how expensive the price may seem. Because this newer buildings have no solid substance, like vaporware :)
