Feeling Defeated

I like many others have been impacted by my landlord intending to sell. Rent prices are insane and I have to move back home in my 30’s.

I went to college, have a good job, and yet…this is what I have to show for it.

Of course where I’ve been renting doesn’t belong to me but its my home. It all feels so unfair. How can the government let this happen. Rent prices will only increase it seems. House prices are only rising too and reading stories here about people in bidding warns buying houses. I earn too little to have been able to save reasonably for a deposit with the cost of living, yet too much for affordable housing schemes. I could go for the help to buy scheme but pay insane money again on a mortgage for a new build?

I am lucky enough to have somewhere to go after this, but I can’t stop crying. I feel so defeated. I’m beating myself up that I don’t have the savings right now. I haven’t just lost my home. I’ve lost my independence, my self worth, and I know this crisis can only get worse. Its a ticking clock to buy a house jn time that I can get a loan term that ends before retirement.
