That means you can buy a house a little below average. With a spouse straight up can.

i don't know cause there's a ton of nonsense here so explain what you meant. and also what not being able to buy a house means.

I guarantee you, it's harder in 90% of places in the world (accounting for buying power/price of real estate). You guys don't understand our privilege.

You can buy an f'ing house. In places like Ukraine people make $100/month and apartments are $50k(and I'm talking before the war). There, it's LITERALLY impossible.

What people here are describing is that things should be better, and I agree, but words matter.

a real computer science degree from a good school is a real engineering degree. And you can do a lot of things with it. Pivot quickly.

an "information technology" degree that teaches React and stuff is not engineering.

This is the last website I would imagine people complaining they can't buy a house.

"I guess if you're bright enough to come up with a solution you could be like Satoshi, or you could just work for Jane Street and suck as much as you can before you die."

the outcome is the same. you're sucking money out of people.

Come on. How can you not be able to buy a house with an engineering degree? It's one of the best degrees out there.

Define buying a house.
