Letters: Readers respond to an article about quitting the rat race, with some saying their generation was handed an untenable position and others saying the struggle is nothing new
Yeah, OP doesn’t get how many, many things can cause house price rises and that you shouldn’t stop a good thing just because a bad thing takes advantage.
Too many people are taking my “there’s 2 sides to this so called benefit” as “crab mentality.”
I’m happy people got to be happy, but their happiness came at my expense.
We all made decisions as to where we wanted to work, people chose cities for high incomes, I hate cities, traffic, overpopulated areas, so I chose the opposite and work in a factory far from a city, but now everyone got to leave the cities and that caused a massive increase in prices pretty much immediately. Again, good for them, I was just pointing out to OP that it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, for some WFH coming from covid ruined their plans.
I either keep the position I worked for and never own a home now or I have to start over somewhere else.

But I never said to stop it.
