@Shadyglow I won't comment on that, but, you do know that the fossil fuel companies are making more money then they ever have! corporate profits in general have skyrocketed over the past decade. At the same time, corporate taxes have decreased, that has placed our economy into a precarious position.
$967.47 cents for my monthly mortgage on my farm of 47 acres with two homes (My old junk home and the new one I am building on it) four other barns and builds. In Southern Ohio, USA and nowhere near a city.
The new build I have been doing all by myself out of pocket without loans and why it has taken 5 years to get to this point.
My place is paid off with no leans against it. I paid cash without a loan. I did a Land Contract, got lawyers involved and put down 20 grand in cash for just the 10 acre for a 8 bedroom house.
@beermeplease I thought about that idea. I could rent one bedroom out and actually make a profit instead of taking a loss, but I'm using the other bedroom as a studio where I can make money.
I'm renting again for the first time in many years and found a great 2-bedroom home in a good part of town for $1200 USD monthly, yard maintenance included. Been in it for over 3 years and no rent increases.
[@beermeplease ] i am at home with my mam i give her sixty quid a week we are in council property pay half the poll tax monthly and the lions share of the line rental
Here in Oz we pay rent per week. 2 years ago it was just under $400 a week, then it jumped to $450 a week (same place), then I had to move when the owner wanted to put it up to $550 a week last year. Currently in a much shittier place paying $440 a week.
I've never owned my own property but in my dreams would like to stop renting.
I don't live in Sydney, but if I did I'd be paying upwards of $1000 a week to rent an average house, and about $500 to $600 a week to rent any sort of decent apartment.
