Gotta have all your stuff in order. Money, credit, finding a place. All that stuff is annoying and hard work but it’s worth it. Gotta start somewhere and sometime.

It's all a game with bad rules everyone is being forced to play.

The rules make sense once you understand them. Unfortunately schools don’t do a good job of teaching financial education including budgeting or how the credit system works. In theory it should be a mandatory class but not even in college is real world financials a real class. Once I started wanting to travel using airline miles or hotel points did I find all of the ways to increase your credit score or maintain it. Not that I’m saying that’s the direction to go in but if you need ways to improve yours I’m happy to help.

I sincerely appreciate you wanting to help, but I'm actually doing fine. You're right that most of the rules make sense, but I don't think that necessarily makes them good rules. And I would still rather not play the game, but that's not an option.

How would housing work if you did not want to play the game?

I certainly don't have plans drawn up for all the intricacies of what goes into to housing a population, but here's 2 things I'd like to be true. Housing as a human right, I don't think individuals should be paying for a safe place to call home. And a teacher should have easier access to home ownership than a stock broker.
