A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

It's all bullshit guys, like on the other side we have to pay $1500 a month rent because the bank doesn't believe we can afford a $1000 a month mortgage.

Anyway I'm pretty sure $1,000 mortgage payments are a thing of the past.

I mean it's math if you take out a $160k mortgage for a $200k house today it's gonna be right around $1000/mo

Okay but $200,000 houses don't exist anymore. Everything starts at half a million.
