My wage was nearly unchanged for 15 years(a total increase of €16 per month) while i watched rent and groceries triple in cost.
It all started like: your wage is low, here’s help with the rent insurance and bills plus you’ll be locked into the low rent segment.
Right now they claim i have a high wage and am locked in the high rent segment with no support anymore.
My father however never had the oppertunity to buy and is still renting according to the old rules and pays a third of what i pay for twice the space. His retirement is almost identical to my income.
Yeah it’s definitely conditional and worse the younger you are. If you own a place or have owned a place for a while your overall cost of living is treading water and in some cases even going down over time. That’s definitely not the case for renters.
These are problems for all people, not just the young ones.
That differs for a lot of people.
