> How else can we think about an expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars? I’m saying buying a home shouldn’t cost that much. See here’s the insidious thing about housing costing so much - when you were younger you surely didn’t want to spend so much on a house. You don’t want your kids to spend so much either. And if you didn’t spend so much you would never have cared so much if it drops in value. But now that you have spent that much, you want it to cost the same, even though that perpetuates a system that punished you, your kids and your grandkids. Do you really want to defend this? Does it boil down to yeah it sucks that houses cost so much but now that I have mine I want to slam the door on the younger generation?
