I didn't buy any houses for fucking cash lol. I was making 32k when I bought my first house I put down 3% because that's what I could afford. I didn't have any money, and I've never even contemplated buying a house for cash. I was just a regular asshole living a regular life in a state capital where there are plenty of jobs, used to be many of them union jobs making a shitload more than me. I didn't get any stupendous deals on either of those houses for the day.

The point here was things are much worse today. They weren't this bad before. This is an exceptional market. I'm stuck in my current house now because of how much worse the market is. That's my point is things are way worse now than we've had to deal with in the last 30 years at least.
