Yes likewise, I wish you good luck too with this very tough nut to crack.

For my part I oscillate between total despair and determined optimism. We have been saving and investing for a while, and some of this investments have well, particularly Bitcoin, however as we have progressed down the learning path we don’t see Bitcoin as an investment anymore. But regardless, should the need ever arise we could liquidate everything and buy something, somewhere. It’s more a frustration of not being able to buy in one of the nicest places to live I’ve ever come across.

As it turns out we and the generations below us are all in the same boat, thanks to the petrodollar system if the US continues to grow its money supply so to do the governments of Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc. lest they unleash detrimental forces across their entire societies, not just hopeful home buyers. And that money needs to go somewhere.

So, really it’s our own fault for being born to parents living in these countries at the time we were, had we been born a generation or two earlier things would be quite different. But more seriously this problem is baked into our monetary system, it can be managed by governments, to a degree (big prints in the US cause big headaches to other govts), however some governments have mismanaged the problem grossly, usually because of self interested politicians with multiple investment properties of this town who have no interest in any seeing any changes to the current set up.
