We were lucky to buy a house in a less than desirable small city in a less than desirable state in 2017 before the housing bubble made everything shoot up in price. We’re not Gen Z or millennials. We’re in our late 40s. There is absolutely no way we would be able to afford a house now and it isn’t from lack of working.
As it is, our house is still worth far less than a house anywhere even a little more desirable, so we’re stuck with it and stuck here until something changes.
