The ignored and invisible people
My husband was reading a book the other day and then all of a sudden the book was flying across the room and a few choice words flew out of his mouth. Once I saw the book he was reading I understood his frustration. You see, we are trapped in the renting cycle. We don’t earn enough to save for a home loan deposit and even if we had the deposit we could not service a loan. So Luke has been reading book after book on how to get out of this situation and how to get ahead in the real estate market. However ALL these books assume you have spare income and simply offer budgeting tips or equity jumping ideas. What we want to know is HOW to start when you don’t even qualify for a loan. There simply doesn’t seem to be a way. We have fallen into a category of ignored and invisible people. There is no start for people who are just making ends meet, we are pushed aside and never mentioned. We earn too much for any government assistance but not enough to get a loan even for a unit. The class divisions are widening and more and more people are falling into this void. I have no idea how the government is going to fix this problem, sweeping it under the rug is my guess.
