> I have some NYC-native friends whose parents make less than $20k a year on paper but own homes and generally live comfortably.
- peruvian 4y agoThere's some truth. My friend's parents don't live in desirable areas (to white collar workers) and in older housing. It is not rundown or anything, but it is an insular immigrant community. There's a reason almost none of their first generation kids stay in that area. But they live comfortably — at least the people I talk to go on vacation often, were able to help my friend with student loans, have cars in NYC, etc.
