American who receives R$ 46,000 reveals the house he bought after 7 years of saving

Who has the dream of having the own home knows that this can be a very difficult challenge, especially given the current prices. It is also necessary to know that these values ​​do not refer only to us residents of Brazil.

That's because, on TikTok, a man showed the house he could buy after years of saving and surprised by the appearance of the property.

The only house you could buy for $120,000 a year

Earning US$ 120,000 a year (approximately R$ 558,420.00) does not seem to be bad at all, even more so if we consider the value of the dollar compared to the real. However, even this has not been enough to guarantee that some people can get a livable home in the United States. At least that's what TikToker Average Joe (@averagejoegam3) shows in a video that went viral on the network.

In this case, he used the platform to tell how he and his wife saved for years to buy their own home, but it still wasn't enough.

According to Joe, the annual salary of US$ 120,000, plus US$ 40,000 in credit, did not help much when he needed to buy a house. That's because the prices of the US real estate market are absurd!

In the video, he shows that the only house he could afford is in poor housing condition, in need of a lot of renovations. In addition, the property is covered in dirt on the outside of the house, which goes to show how any house currently costs a very high price.

That way, it is very difficult to get out of rent and just as it is there in the US, it is also here.

'Can only doctors have habitable houses?'

The video managed to be quite emotional, as it reveals a couple's desire to achieve a life with favorable housing conditions. However, this dream seems impossible given the conditions of the US real estate market. When publishing the video, there were many comments of solidarity.

In addition, one of Joe's lines seemed to move Internet users even more. In the case, Joe asks if only successful doctors, engineers, architects or lawyers can buy a house nowadays. This is a stark reflection on the conditions of the working class today and the difficulties of making it in life.
