What housing collapse? There’s not going to be a housing collapse.
dw there will be lots of 1 bed apartments in the future and – even better – you will be handing over 60% of your wages to fund Canadian teachers’ pensions. You should feel immense pride in the fact you will spend your working life helping those people prosper.
There will be nice modular housing for you when the Ukrainians leave..
Things do feel rather bleak. My younger brother is 21 and unemployed and he has almost no education. Just half wondering what the heck he is going to do when someone like myself who’s employed and earning a decent wage is finding it hard enough.
It’s all over the world unfortunately.
This won’t mean much, but I often see comments about how older people don’t care because they are mostly sorted.
That’s not my experience. As one of them, we have children in the same position, we aren’t wealthy and we have you know, empathy. We don’t want to see the country screwed up.
The idea I would be able to buy a house in my 20s was not even a notion. The places I rented were abominable by today’s standards.
My ex rented a place for 2 years that had actually been condemned and it flooded each winter. I rented one place that was so damp than all my clothes grew mould in just two weeks and I had to throw out most stuff.
We think you all deserve opportunity. I can remember moving across the country in the mid 90’s on the chance I might be able to afford a house in the south east. I couldn’t and it took me another 5 years and even now, I think I was lucky in my timing, five years later again and I wouldn’t have had a chance.
I don’t think because we suffered you should too, which is unfortunately a common thought in Ireland.
Look, you’re doing it again, all moping in a big mope fest.
Yeah things are pretty bleak for young people again. Time for another massive wave of emigration I suppose.
Nah don’t feel so bad, we’re still top 3 in HDI /s.
I was early 20’s in 07 and honestly I don’t know how I survived, a few friends committed suicide, many more emigrated never to return, I couldn’t find any work, did jobbridge twice, was made a pawn of that bullshit seetec programme. I was renting a dingey shit hole, trying to train/educate and looking for any job. At one stage someone offered to buy me some shoes as mine were literally taped together, I was wearing jeans much too large as I’d lost so much weight and the arse was ripped in them. I was buying used pots and pans from charity. Food banks. Sacrificing so much. My mental health was destroyed. My physical health too. Like I could have been mistaken for a junky but I was simply a young lad paying his way with very very little. Its getting there again for many people now and I’m just so fucking sick of working 50 hours a week to be as broke as I was back then and desperately want a change. I’m no shinner but they’ll get my vote to remind the ff/fg right to stop fucking riding us so hard and they represent us not fdi’s and pension funds and their pals.
Are you not embarrassed to be like “the state of this country” when this meme is clearly about most developed countries at the moment
Yup I’m in the same boat.
Stop buying weed, coke and booze and maybe you’ll have enough to move out 🙂

Felt the same in 2007
