> I have noticed that most of my fellow millennials seem to have completely forgotten the concept of "starter home" and assume that as soon as you turn 25 you should be entitled to a 4 bedroom house with a pool, huge yard, wonderful neighborhood, three-car garage, etc. Then you've got a non representative sample. This claim is outrageous, and it's not true. Honestly it pisses me off how casually you just assert that most millenials think this way. A very simple search for millenial home buyers surveys will show this is not the case. https://listwithclever.com/research/millennial-home-buyer-report/ https://listwithclever.com/research/millennial-home-buyer-re... Median price range is below 300k. Biggest desires are safety and good schools, likely driven by the fact that the ones buying properties are couples looking to start a family.

If someone talking about their personal experience with their owns friends pisses you off, then you're reacting to something else.

Sometimes one reads things and thinks it worthy of telling the other to fuck off. Do what you want.
