Enough to buy a house.

That seems like a lot for this question but it's honestly the only thing that significantly would. Cars and goods are great but just materialistic and I can live without them just fine. But give me a place for my family and I to live and our lives would be significantly improved, because we'd not have to deal with landlords, renting, we could modify the house to our needs, have pets and not stress about constant rent hikes and the possibility of being evicted.

I think everyone should have the opportunity to own their own house and politicians are betraying society and entire generations of people by doing things that work heavily against it.
