My weekly 2 person household necessities are something like $175 USD for home prepped meals, cleaning supplies, charging my car, and shower goods. If i cut back on stuff like conditioner and some vegetables or meats for processed stuff, i think i could save maybe $20 extra a week (until more price gouging/tarrifs/electricity increases due to data centers/whatever.)

The cheapest house on offer within 30 miles (48.2 km) of my job is $78,000 for 576 square feet (53.51215 square meters? Idk how europe measures floor area).

So if i struggle quite a bit, in 75 years, geriatric me and my geriatric wife can live in an extremely tiny house (assuming its still on offer and still costs 78,000, and if i invested that money the stock market didnt crash and and and and)

(Math: $78,000 / $20/week = 3,900 weeks. 3900/52 weeks in a year = 75 years. Im begging for a progressive world-policing power to invade us and force us to have free healthcare/tax the billionaires/slash the defense budget/tax those with multiple owned houses to subsidize housing)
