They won't.
Most people renting are going to be renting until they die.
They're just too stupid with their money and think they're entitled to more than they can afford.
Edit: And they get mad whenever anyone calls it out.
AvOcAdO tOaSt!!!!1!!
You were right with the first two sentences, and wrong with the last two. Incredible.
Your post reeks of "just buy a house lol"
What do you suggest people do with their money instead? It's not like you can stop paying rent to save up for a down payment. And with rent on the rise everywhere, it's not necessarily an option for most to find something cheaper.
If they really want to get out of their situation, they will have to live frugally while saving money.
This means doing things like finding the cheapest place to rent (probably with roommates) and always cooking your own meals. If you really are struggling, then make sure you also get the government benefits that you are eligible for.
But most people think they're "too good for that" while complaining they don't have enough money, which is where entitlement comes in.
Please don't pretend that most renters are doing everything they can to save money. They aren't. Every renter I know that complains about not having enough money isn't living in the cheapest spot, orders food all the time, and subscribes to things they can be getting for free.
It's overwhelmingly people who are bad with money and think they're entitled to more before others have less.
First, you're assuming that renters are people who "want to get out of their situation." Lots of people rent their whole lives by choice for the flexibility and choose to do other types of investments instead. That's a perfectly viable financial strategy.
Second, you assume that people who want to be homeowners aren't already doing everything they can and are entitled. That's not necessarily true in a system that's stacked in favor of those who already have much and against those who have little. It's the typical "got mine" attitude.
Not good enough.
So your solution is that poor people should never have joy, entertainment, experience life. They need to get in that hamster wheel and grind till they die?
Honestly you people who think life is all about grind, are the saddest people on earth. It's like you have Stockholm syndrome for capitalism and billionaires
Wait the renters you know have the nerve to order food?!? What scumbags! I bet they expect to be able to eat it too. Disgusting. Next thing you know they will be trying to drink water too.

That's not fair, they could just be stupid - that is to say, they likely just struggle with acquiring readily-available info/knowledge and applying it in their decision making.
I'm always absolutely fascinated by the confidence displayed by the willfully ignorant. That bliss must be really addicting or something
