Financing comparison: past vs. today

I have 1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of dress shoes, and 1 pair of sandals.

:eek: And you want to write it like that? I hope there are more underwear than everyday and holiday!

So my kids were always on construction sites. None of them got injured or worse. Well, not me either, not the kids. Even at 3 years old and partially unattended. I wouldn’t leave chemicals lying around, but otherwise.... well..

It certainly also depends on the kids. Ours is totally active, just over a year old and learned to walk a few months ago. You always have to keep an eye out, otherwise something that doesn’t belong there ends up in the mouth. And I don’t just mean dirt and stones but rather things like nails...

Besides, if I can save €2000 by laying the floor myself, that’s half a month’s net salary. For me, that definitely adds up.

I can understand anyone who does it themselves because they save the money. But time is also fleeting and scarce

It’s pretty similar for me too. Without the dress shoes ;)
But also 5 pairs of climbing shoes, 3 pairs of mountaineering boots...

Your freedom of opinion and freedom to shape your life is quite narrowly defined if you can't write it like that...
There are certainly some people in the world with even fewer shoes, what do you think about them?
Honestly, I find that a pretty harsh statement.
You are welcome to have 50 pairs of shoes yourself and write about it too, but the word tolerance is the keyword here!

You also go down to the basement to laugh, which doesn’t exist? As a homebuilder or owner, you should have at least 2 pairs of shoes to change. They don’t have to be 50.

We have a basement.... And we would also have enough money for more shoes, but why one should have to as a homeowner, I unfortunately don’t understand. I have never had the need to require that and certainly won’t change that now just because someone thinks as a house builder I have to have it that way. Luckily, I also have more than enough friends who apparently don’t care as much about how many shoes someone has :-)

This also has nothing to do with humor, but your second post confirms that your opinion is that just a few shoes are not tolerable for a homeowner. Why not?

and one must not forget right now... the "heir generation" is currently buying real estate, there's a lot of money involved... sometimes people bring 200-500k of equity. Even at the "average income" level, no one cares if they only have to finance 200-300k anymore whether they pay 2% or 3% interest...

I find that very interesting, is that really the case? Honestly, I wasn’t quite clear about that... Then I’m not surprised anymore how certain families can simply buy at very high prices. We have saved about 150k ourselves in our mid-30s and hardly have a chance to buy anything (in our desired location).
