I had a visceral reaction to this. If you've heard this in real life, my deepest sympathies.

We had to give up entirely on affording a house. There are ROOMS for rent at $1200 here. This used to be a low COL area until COVID. We had low infection rates so a ton of people moved here and we don't have the infrastructure to support them. We've been priced out of what living space we did have and since there's still the illusion it's cheap to live here, it's almost impossible to get a living wage.

I still use my 2010 Vaio. If they still made them, it's definitely what I would have gone for when I upgraded.
