What Blackrock is doing may be out of your control but your kids/grandkids future isn't. We all need to be setting aside money for our kids future that is protected. That's' the only thing that will give them a leg up going against this.
As of today, a family must make $117k/year to afford a median priced home in the US using traditional metrics. The median US household income is $74.6k. There is no way young families can afford it and it's intentional.
Proverbs 13:22: "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just."
Those in their "golden years" might want to consider setting up protected trust funds for their kids/grandkids rather than blowing $80k on a BMW that will be worthless in ten years.
I like RFKs thoughts on housing.....we should be providing low interest loans to the people so that everyone can own a home. We should not be allowing Blackrock to buy them all up.
Something has to change as what's going on now is unsustainable and highly unethical. I'm really rethinking my entire outlook regarding real estate speculation and landlords in general. Supposed Christian Dave Ramsey is worth hundreds of millions, most of it in real estate. He's a huge part of the problem and is benefitting from the misery of others that he's helped price out of the market. Yet all is good because he gives some small part of his income to the church and gives people advice?
When did greed and selfishness become a Christian, or even American, values? How many seniors are sitting on a mountain of equity on oversized homes they bought thirty years ago for 5% of today's prices, but won't help out their kids/grandkids?
Blackrock makes a convenient boogeyman that depersonalizes just who are the villains here. We can try and pass laws against institutional and foreign purchasers (which if the government cared about actual Americans it would have done long ago) but people like Ramsey and his buddies will scream bloody murder that it's "communism". How dare the government not allow them to accumulate another hundred million.
What it will take is a change in perspective of the older generation towards their kids/grandkids. Baby Boomers don't get to accumulate all the wealth then pull up the ladder behind them. They were able to buy homes for $20k because of government policies that led to a housing boom and favorable financing. It wasn't because they worked hard and today's generation are lazy (as much as they like to tell themselves that is the reason). Housing is unaffordable for the vast majority specifically do to government and finance policies that put housing speculators ahead of average Americans.
Yes, I live in a rural area. Many are prepared and they have stepped it up over the past 2.5 years. I certainly have. I would never return to the city. I'll live in a tent under a tree somewhere before ever moving back. I'm a veteran and there are many other veterans out here. We don't do well in the cities. I don't even like going into the smaller towns. One of our favorite past times is getting together to go do some target practice. You can never have enough experience.
Yes hubby did 20 years Army. I’m thankful for obummer, really opened our eyes. Been on the farm for 10 years learning everything off grid. So incredibly hard but beyond worth it!! We now RV full Tim from military post to post. It’s really nice, most are like minded!!! Gonna travel til we can’t. Lol. We have an extra 90 gallon tank just in case🤣.
Obummer opened a lot of eyes. A nobody senator from Shitcago was elected and the first thing he did was destroy the healthcare system. It's nice being out here. It's quiet and nothing like seeing millions of stars at night. They say people are ignorant and uneducated out here. LOL They are some of the wisest people I know. It must be the commonsense factor. I only know 1 person out here who took the jab. The only reason she took it was because her son is a doctor. He recommended it to her since she was finally in remission from cancer in her leg which they amputated. Now, she has cancer in her lungs and breasts. If her son knows now, I can't imagine what he's thinking. I would be pissed. My grandfather owned 1000 acres and my dad went off to college and got his masters. He was teaching at the university and working was nearly done with his dissertation to get his PhD. He quit! LOL He went back to farming and has done it his whole life. He still living on the land. It's hard work but it's better than sitting in an office or cubicle all day every day. We have given a lot of thought to the RV thing. I'm seeing more and more RV's and the RV lots all across the state have been packed. I like to get out and go to the state parks and this is when I noticed it. It wasn't like this 3 years ago. Sure, there were some but now these places are full.
Totally agree! I’m not good w small talk, love my country ppl!!!! Totally agree, country people have way more common sense. Wonder if there’s a truth to fluoride in the water.
I knew about the fluoride but never thought about it this way. We don't have fluoride since were on well water like many others out here. Maybe there is a connection.
Thanks for the site. I will look into it and save it in my military bookmarks. That's cheap for one night especially if that comes with electricity, water, and sewer hook ups.
It was the best move I ever made back in 2015. I'll never go back to the city. If you ever get a chance, get out. It's so peaceful out here. I would try to meet some people who live in the rural areas. Good to know if you ever need to escape. I have friends who will be heading this way if things go south. The more the merrier.
Organizations like black rock are buying every house they can. For what purpose I don’t know.
They want to turn us all into "subscribers" that own nothing.
Doubt it’ll happen during my life time, but maybe my kids. So damn sad! But I know it’s out of my control. Now I pray.

Totally agree! We’ve invested in assets or tangibles, and knowledge; especially knowledge.

15 min gulags, ooops, cities?
Who's going to live in these cities? If the clot shots do what they are designed to do that means not too many people left.
You'll pay rent for the rest of your life. They already said you'll own nothing and be happy. This is all planned.
We are ready.
I'm ready and so are many around me.
Very nice to hear! Us too. Although if you live in the country, they live the “prepared” life normally.
Yes, I live in a rural area. Many are prepared and they have stepped it up over the past 2.5 years. I certainly have. I would never return to the city.

Check out this site
https://www.militarycampgrounds.us
They r called fam camps and like $25 a night and we find most of the ppl really nice!
I knew about the fluoride but never thought about it this way. We don't have fluoride since were on well water like many others out here. Maybe there is a connection.
Thanks for the site. I will look into it and save it in my military bookmarks. That's cheap for one night especially if that comes with electricity, water, and sewer hook ups.
Yep. We are well water also. I miss our water when we travel.
It’s crazy cheap! Presently we are Camp Pendleton literally on the beach. This is $65 a night but it’s California lol
I so envy you.
Why is that? I've been through hell and back and there's nothing to envy. lol
I was responding to your original comment about living in the country. I wish I lived in the country.
