Oh and those pensions you might have heard of? That's just an old wives' tale, no such thing for you.

Well, they're not wrong. If I had known I'd be in the same place after 10 years, I would've made myself more comfortable.
The problem with being a long time renter, is that there is no guarantee that the real estate will always be available to you.
What if your landlord sells your house/appartment and the new owner wants to move in? What if the rent hikes eventually make it unaffordable for you.
Unless you own the property, you cannot plan with certainty for the long term.
Well, then precarity is also bad for fertility. No one wants to have sex or have kids when they're permanently a month away from homelessness. And that means after the alphas, we might see a severe labor shortage for our landlords and industrialist masters.
Curiously, this was a permanent problem under feudalism.
I know a way to make it feel comfortable, but it's so much harder nowadays to get away with murder and drugging people to death.
Just gotta trick me into getting married then drive me to suicide.
Yeah, it's not just Zoomers. It's so many more than just Zoomers.
Maybe in the past it's possible to live forever by renting, but that's not the case anymore.
Unfortunately this affects many more than just zoomer, fucking depressing either way..
I guess it's just realistic and "make the best out of it" at this point
By knocking down a few walls.
Do/did people actually wait for 25 years (to buy a house) before making their home interesting?
It's more that if you own your house, then you can replace that sucky fixture with one you like, whereas if you rent, you're stuck with the sucky fixture, and when fixtures break, they're replaced with sucky fixtures.
