CNN: More than half of American renters who want to buy a home fear they’ll never afford one

The dream of homeownership feels out of reach for many American families.
The vast majority (86%) of current renters in the United States say they would like to buy a home — but can’t afford one, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS released Monday.
Among those same renters who can’t afford to buy a home right now, 54% think it’s unlikely they’ll ever be able to, the poll found.
The findings underscore the damage done by the one-two punch of surging home prices and elevated mortgage rates, creating an affordability crisis. And given that homeownership is the ticket to wealth generation in America, that pessimism exacerbates the risk that the divide between the haves and have-nots will only grow.
Younger people especially are having trouble buying a home right now. The CNN poll found that 90% of renters younger than 45 say they’d like to buy but can’t afford it, compared with 79% of those age 45 and above.
Not surprisingly, younger Americans are more hopeful that situation will change.
Most adults (53%) younger than 45 who want to buy but can’t afford it believe it’s at least somewhat likely they’ll eventually be able to buy a home. That’s compared with just 32% of those 45 and older.

Paying the bills is harder than ever. Are voters supposed to feel joy?

It’s no surprise that 65% of people believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls. Harris and Biden took office in a moment of relative optimism for the country, when just 49% thought the country was on the wrong track. (That’s a pretty low number for the last 20 years.) By mid-2022, with inflation raging, 74% felt the country had gone astray — higher than at any point in the Trump presidency. Now, it’s 65%.
And yet half of Democrat voters are going to vote against their own self-interests because they are stupid and easily manipulated.

A new report published by Insurify, an insurance comparison shopping site, shows the average U.S. rate for full auto insurance surged to $2,329 in the first half of 2024. That marks a 15% increase from 2023 and a stunning 48% spike when compared with 2021.
By the end of 2024, the cost of coverage is expected to rise even further, to $2,469, according to the report.
That sucks.
I got mad when they raised my 6 month premium from $138 to $175 last year.
Philadelphia Mom: Inflation Is Killing Us, I Blame The Federal Government

flation_is_killing_us_i_blame_the_federal_government.html
Quote:
This woman told NBC News that she blames the federal government for not addressing inflation during a panel of black voters from Philadelphia.
Inflation "is hitting me hard," she said. "I blame the federal government at this point."
"If a working-class mom who works as a paralegal can not buy a $2 bell pepper because it is now $5, imagine the mother living on food stamps. Imagine the mother making minimum wage trying to feed her children."
"They're killing us without killing us, if you understand that. They're killing us without telling us they are killing us. They are hurting people in ways that they can't help themselves. It's either feed my children, and I don't eat, but I have to go work," she said.

Oh Joe... The press doesn't work for you anymore.

Go Joe Biden. Once again Jack, he fucks Trumps' message of high inflation. Biden said his policies were working. Well Jack, here you go. Bidens' success also destroys this thread showing you to be a bullshit artist. If you followed any reputable news outlet you would know what wa going on, and not have posted your last post.
On the floor laughing here.

Wow. Before Biden* was in office, 3% was bad.
Not impressed at all when it's been so high for so long that the bar is below the floor, Theodore.
Neither is anybody who can't afford anything in Joe Biden*/Democrat's America.
That cohort includes the half of your party's base that isn't a college "educated" white person.

Consumer price index rose 0.2 % in July pushing inflation down to 2.9 %, not 3 %. If you had gone to school, you would understand things started to go awry when Trump completely mismanaged COVID causing hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. Biden has fixed Trumps mess before his first term ended. Fucking outstanding...
Get ready cause Biden isn't done. Watch the news and you'll see why.

Here are some more facts dummy. Trump was a nightmare. Mostly due to his lying and the hate those lies generated.

2.9% is not good either, Ted. And that's a high 2.9% on top of years of ultra-high inflation now.
Your guy destroyed the economy. Those prices will NEVER go back down. We got 12 years of inflation in only 4 years and that will NEVER reverse.
Don't pretend you know anything about this. You're a fucking idiot.

Bullshit, and if you're right Trump would be winning hands down. So why is he losing?

This is why most central banks and governments closely monitor the annual inflation rate to ensure it is at a balanced and modest level, around 2% to 3%.
