There was a time when new home buyers got a ‘starter home’, added sweat equity and saved to upgrade. But now every home is a ‘dream’ home. Why work and save when you can over-loan and have it now?
Seems many begin as we did in the 60’s with an apartment, then a mid-sized house with room for our sons and a yard to grow up in. Wonder if that would work today? See lots of stacked boxes with 2 parking spaces but no yard. Not much room for ‘discovering’ and digging and running and laughing.
My 1st place was a 600sq ft WW2 era shack for $125 a month, then a 900sqft for $400, bought a new 1,227 for $900 then my forever home on 5ac 1900sqft for $2,000 paid for twice after a to the studs remodel now worth a million plus.

Which she has to rent because no one who isn’t obscenely wealthy can find a home to buy anymore.

Makes for much more creative play than tarted up pink plastic ever could.

There are some good things about being old: the dating game and new house days are behind me.

Republicans send your tax dollars to billionaires instead of the people who need it.
Republicans feed the rich and starve the poor.
