Blackpill My first apartment outside university only cost $450 a month about 13 years ago. Now it costs $1800. Everything has changed.

I was almost 18 and I could easily afford it, alone. City has 250k people and the state university had 35,000 students at the time.

That same apartment now costs.... $1800, no fucking shit.

I visited the bars around campus recently and they had about 9 men for every one woman. Back in the day it was full of hot, thin college girls.



Everything has changed in the past 10 years. Massive hypergamy, insane inflation, marriages getting destroyed. Job market is total trash unless you know people, have chad looks, or you're a femoid.

The west changed into some sort of bizarro world distopia in the past decade.
 
the world ended in december 2012. this is hell.

Very true, I used to tell myself that it's just my life that has changed for the worse, but no. Women are bitchier, uglier and fatter, men are becoming more cucked miserable, everyone is slowly getting poorer, everything's on a massive decline.

I forgot to mention the fat thing. While many were fat back then, in the USA now almost everyone is fat, including the president and almost ALL the other candidates.


If you had to put it into numbers, a thin, average woman has become maybe 100 times harder to obtain in 2018 vs 2007
 
The worst part is, no one will even fucking acknowledge how bad things have gotten.
Just fuck my world up.

well it only stopped getting better or started getting worse slowly in 2008. but around 2012 time everything (music, hollywood, hypergamy, pretty much everything besides vidya) just got much much worse.

Damn, that's wild. It's a college town and everything, but $1800 for a studio/one bedroom is Bay Area/Seattle-tier.

Never visited the bars at college but would occasionally walk past them in Bickle-mode. It seemed to be mostly late 20s/30s men with a sliver of college foids.

I imagine a lot of Chads + concubines hung around frats more often than bars.

At least things show promise of falling apart at this rate.

- It was the EXACT same apartment complex and unit type. I looked it up online.

- Every weekend the bars were full of girls who were under 21 and hot as FUCK. The male female ratio was sometimes around 50:50, with half of the girls being hot as fuck.

- Also very few whites in the bar when I checked. Mostly ethnic males.
 
the world ended with smartphones. now were just living in a dystopian nightmare.
Smartphones save lives. Normies and their consorts keep their eyes on their phones and I can also lurk the internet everywhere.
 
How much would that apartment cost to buy?
 
your not different your one of them.
Your criticism is valid, it seems like many can't entertain themselves for just 5 minutes without using the phone or internet. But is there really a difference to 15 years ago when people just had a discman? Listening to music and watching out of the window is the best cope to get over long train rides.

Not that I'd talk with the strangers sitting around me anyway...

Is this East Coast, Midwest, West Coast? I live in a pretty high cost/high inflation area right now and haven't seen much climb at that rate, but who knows, rent rises toward the sky everywhere now.

Most of the ones I saw from 2013-2017 looked like generic trashthots. Some of them looked pretty hot, but they were behind a wall of fakeup.

- Also very few whites in the bar when I checked. Mostly ethnic males.

I never saw too many dethniks go clubbing - there weren't many Asians/Indians out on the weekends.
 
We are getting fucked from every conceivable angle.

Actually, 2008-2012 was when house prices decreased significantly. After around Q2 2012 house prices started going up to way beyond 2008, pre-crash levels.

I wish I wasn't a NEETcel. So many people became rich as fuck because they invested when others were selling. Whether it was real estate or stocks, even dumb people made a shit load. I remember reading about this guy who leveragemaxxed in 2010 and bought a ton of multi-unit properties and now he's worth in the millions. And of course who can forget Bitcoin's rise in those days.

Now there are no opportunities left anymore. :feelsrope:

It's because you aren't looking for them, the economy is on the brink of collapse, debt/house prices/stock market is significantly higher than in 2008, just look at AMZN, it literally looks like it's in a bubble. As soon as the tech sector has 2 consecutive bad years, it's over for the economy and it'll all come crashing down.

you're right but most incels or most people don't have the experience / capital to profit from that.

Inverse ETF's boyo, they don't require that much and are literally like any other stock, except that as soon as stocks start going down, your money will start going up.

The only way to make money and acquire wealth relatively quickly is by leveragemaxxing. Which is only possible in real estate unless you have high net worth and know the right people - then you may have the opportunity to invest in tech companies before they get acquihired or get listed on the stock exchange.

Face it - it was a lot easier to come from the bottom 10 years ago then today.

By the way you're sounding like the normies who tell incels to "just shower bro", "just be confident bro".
 
wtf, i'm paying 433/month for a 2 bedroom with 2 other guys and i live in cuckanada
 
Inflation is the general rise in prices of a 12 month period, as house prices go up, your wages will too.

Nothing to worry about

Just margin trade then.

Also their SMV is overinflated. Wahmen aren't even happy with their looks match and want guys that are 2+ above at least.

We are at the end times boyo. The fall of western civilization from 1st world to 3rd.

FUCK dude! I've been going out at night and this is ALL I SEE! It's fucking pointless and I never put the two together. Of course it's fucking Tinder! But clubbing is fun. WTF do people sacrifice fun for looking at phones (we need more boots on the ground reports btw to confirm the shitshow that is our world, thanks for the report - I KNOW this is a legit report). I would be getting laid if it was pre-tinder with the amount of going out I fucking do. FUCK! Why couldn't I have gone out more in my youth... nobody even knew what PUA was back then, and I knew nerds who would have told me about it if it was even remotely known about. I would daydream about becoming a professional artist and going into clubs and telling girls that I was a professional artist hoping for a girlfriend. I thought you NEEDED money to get a girl, because that was the line I had been fed my entire... fucking... life... she needs security bro. It's all she wants, then she can love you after that. But I wanted a career I loved, so I spent 18-26 in my room doing fucking artwork. FUCKING CHRIST!

Also, yes, times have changed and you basically must be involved in corporate criminality to even survive in a fucking slum. I went from amazing apartment within walking distance of all the best clubs in my state (and then my company started asking me to do illegal shit all the time), to living in a shitty group home with rapists and murderers with the drop of a hat.

can you tell more about how all of this happened? feel free to leave out details that would ID you
 
every year prices go higher and higher
every year foids standards go higher and higher

My job asked me to spy on other companies, try to get people fired and ruin their lives, lie to customers, etc. Once I refused they started stealing money from my paychecks and forcing me to work insane amounts with lies like, 'if you don't do this, we will lose our contract and tons of people will get fired.'

So I ended up quitting once I found out they stole my money and I met a girl who set me up hard. She pretended to like me then well, I promised the forum I would no longer tell this story but you may have heard it. It ruined my life.

So I dedicated myself to meditation and self-development, but I was in a lot of pain due to what happened. I could not move or walk for a while. That said, I made a Youtube channel and talked to mostly foids about meditation and how to become self-aware of their nature (typical story would be 'help, my abusive boyfriend is beating my children, I cannot help it because I love him.' This was basically ALL women above 35 (lol, one believed her roommate who traveled the world and fucked jailbait teens with his billionaire grandma's money was King fucking David.) Women in their 20s were narcissistic and proud of how abusive their men were - they never spoke to me unless it was to tell me how stupid I was, which literally happened for just making mild jokes).

So no place would hire me and everybody treated me like shit which just prolonged my inability to do anything. People would pretend like they were going to run me over with their cars, honk 20+ times at me when I would walk on the sidewalk (which I could only do rarely), etc. So I just rotted for a bit and had to live with my parents. I was laying in bed one day, in agony, and the cops came in and that is a story I'm not going to tell either but I was totally backstabbed, a nice cast of people showed up to throw me in the loony bin, and now here I am. They threatened homelessness while I was locked up, when it was -20 degrees farenheit, but fortunately (or not) they found a place for me to stay where my roommate savagely attacked me, I had ex-con Tyrones threatening me and acting like they were about to attack me (attacking things in my vicinity, etc). And after a couple months of standing up for myself they locked me up again because we can't have somebody standing up for themselves, can we. Cops came, dragged me away against my will (this is after roommate attack), boom, schizo diagnosis for no reason. Now my life is fucking over and women will literally run to the other side of the train if I'm just sitting there doing nothing or if I confront an aggressive and abusive Tyrone on the train who is harassing people.

And this is the last time I think I'll ever tell this story on here because man it's tiring just recalling this stupid shit.

gl living on your own if you dont have a good paying job boyo, this is why i live with parents and just pay them some rent from wageslaving.

I was thinking more like the East Bay. I was looking at apartments in various cities across the country and saw quite a few studios in Oakland, etc. that were around $1800.

Is this East Coast, Midwest, West Coast?

Reason I ask this too, is not for dox or anything, but your description sounds a lot like a city I've visited with some frequency.
 
450?!?! That's only half my NEETbux!!!!
