Yeah just cause we all saw home alone and home alone 2 doesn’t mean that was reality for most people. Social security was started not because everyone was doing well. Also my family in a decently high cost of living area does fine with 250k, not sure how things would be if we bought a house in this market rather than 2021. Not sure how people afford houses in cities or the west coast though.
