Houses twice as big with amenities only very rich people had back in the day.

Just out of curiosity, what did you pay for your house and what is the interest rate?

A couple a weeks ago someone made a similar thread. A guy came in here and told people to either join the military or buy a lot of land and round up a few buddies to help build you a house because that’s what his dad did…

Yeah I use to think everyone had it easier decades ago but if you look at the homes back then they were very tiny and no amenities.

So what you’re saying is that people should go to college, work their arse off, earn an above average income, save $110k (20%) for a down payment for a neighborhood and house they don’t want. Sounds like the American dream to me

Yes....and this is what your parents did and their parents and their parents . Your entitlement is showing.

This is laughable. My parents first house was $80k in 1988 and they were able to buy at 23 years old right out of college. The house I grew up in was $120k for 3100 square foot in a great neighborhood in 1998. Same house is $500k today. I make $175k a year and still can’t afford a home
