    How?

    Unless it’s a mobile home on leased land, or you live somewhere property, and land aren’t valued as assets.

    You can always sell it …

      Taxes, maintenance, upkeep, utilities etc. Legally, I can’t sell it for some time as that is part of the will.

        Can you take out debt against it to pay for those things? If you’re net negative while it’s in your possession then the math should work out if you can extract some of its future sale price against its current cost.

          People buy houses all the time they can’t afford. Hidden costs, thinking taxes and insurance won’t shoot up, depending on the size might cost and arm and a leg to heat/cool.

          There’s even a term called “house poor” when you buy a house but don’t have the money to furnish it so you just have big empty rooms.

            You said the house was ruining you but that’s not true. What’s ruining you is the condition of the contract you accepted in order to obtain said house. The meme is about selfish parents pulling the ladder up. Not conditions set on an individual that is subject to them alone.

                  Keep moving those goal posts for whatever bewildering reason you have.

                  The situation would only be pulling up the ladder if their parents had inherited the house themselves.

                    The situation? Are you talking of your house or the meme? The meme is 100% about ladder pulling. You did not get the ladder pulled from under you.
