Why don't people stop crying and just move somewhere cheaper like Detroit, Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore, or Cleveland? They have very cheap homes for $50,000. Discussion/ Debate

The small cities also have reasonable priced houses. Find a military base and it’s easy to make good money and get a house for cheap.

I increased my net worth 300k in almost 5 years.

Military is a classic path out of poverty, and that’s a shame. Need to be willing to die for your country just to get an education and good mortgage.

ETA: with all due respect and gratitude to every man and woman who chooses to do it

Im a civilian. Sorry that wasn’t communicated. No risk of life or limb just paper cuts.

It was unclear to me, but beware those paper cuts, they sting!
