    Sounds like they should get an actual job, rather than expecting someone else to pay for their retirement; someone who probably won’t get to retire themselves

      If it’s their only income source I assume they are retired. If they aren’t, you are absolutely right.

        Why do we have to sacrifice our future ability to retire and own a house because they bought all the houses and retired first?

          How are the two related? It’s not a zero sum game, there’s new houses being built all the time.

            There are studies recently released that show that the people who are buying houses 20 years ago are the same people buying houses today. It is a zero-sum game because nobody else is able to buy a house, especially not if they’re younger.
