I never missed a healthy day of work in the past 22 years, i have called in sick a handful of times to prevent others from getting sick.
I worked 84h weeks, but mainly 40/45h weeks.
If i hadn't had my savings taken away at 17 i could have bought a house at 18, nowadays my labour isn't valuable enough to afford me a house.
So if anyone has a spare 500k laying around so i can buy a small house...i'd gladly receive it.
We could wait the extra 5 years but i'm afraid a small home will cost closer to a million then.
Gotta love this economy and all these fancy modern things we get to enjoy...if we can afford them.
House prices have been falling for the last year now. Maybe... Nah. But maybe...
In your market maybe
Nationwide. They're not plummeting or anything, but they've been steadily decreasing.
Edit: looks like they started going back up again a couple months ago. You can move the sliders to narrow down the chart.

I can't find my market there. Must be because the world is bigger than the US ;)
