I'm in Canada. 25 years ago my parents bought a home for $130k, they sold it 15 years ago for $500k, it's now listed for $1.1 million. We are so fucked.

My last house I bought in 2012 for 545k CAD. Sold it 10 years later for 1.3 million. Agree. We are collectively fucked.

Sounds like you're not doing too bad

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

I am not. The problem is everyone else is not afforded the same luxury. What is the point of wealth if people are still struggling?

It's frustrating.

I mean, yeah, you could buy a lot of poutine with it but what else are you gonna do, buy maple syrup?

Poutine, maple syrup and overpriced real estate. The great Canadian tradition.
