    My parents bought the house for less than my car, $32k.

    It is selling now for $450k.

    That means to have the same buying power I’d need to make over 10x what my father made, which I certainly do not.

    Kalshi bragging about how they’ve made housing that slight bit more unaffordable due to all the money they’ve stolen from gambling addicts.
