It's gonna suck. We bought an apartment right before the Ukraine war started. It was before the construction of the building so we had to wait a few years before moving in. Had to pay a lot more interest than we had planned after the war broke out. Add the pandemic to that as well. And now we have an AI bubble about to burst right when we're looking to maybe buy a house. FML, this world isn't how I imagined it would be when I was growing up.

Yeah I'm in the USA so idk if you're here or not too but yeah ... As an elder millennial the world is not how I imagined it'd be when I was a kid. I mean, I got pretty jaded pretty quick growing up so I've always been a bit pessimistic but maybe more so I'm realistic. I hoped things would get better when we were at least trying to tackle some issues with global climate change - now it feels like we're giving up and just marching towards even more destruction of the planet. That was 20+ years ago ... I always imagined that humanity would probably turn this place into a [Hive World ](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Hive_World) but I desperately want to be wrong about that. So far we're trending in that direction.
