[QUOTE="ReshiIRE, post: 8471604, member: 7031231"] Somewhat relevant, somewhat not, but the price of rent is the exact reason I am buying an apartment, not renting, in Ireland. Where I want to live, to get a place similiar to what I'm getting in the centre of the city, close to where my workplace is, could cost two times to two and a half times more than what my mortgage repayments will be; I'm a pretty well off software engineer, and it will be [I]somewhat [/I]tight with my income (I can certainly save every month, long as I don't have too much going on). Long as I do get the place I am looking at... I will have been extraordinarily lucky. After nearly three years of consistently saving nearly my full income every year; after two raises in the two and a half years of working; after living at home through the entirity of university; after two and a half years of searching for a place. Fun fact: I originally was going to try to get into the game industry, and we do actually have a relatively competitive place and decent wages about for that here. I stopped that dream as I realised I won't be good enough or able to handle the strain, and because I originally didn't get the place I wanted. Now? Maybe that was a good thing, [I]because if I did go into it, my life would probably have bene on hold for another few years.[/I] And people wonder [I]why[/I] unions are forming, the Great Resignation is happening, and why so many are looking at the economic system of the world as broken. Because it [I]is[/I] broken. [/QUOTE]
