My dad was an immigrant who spoke no English and worked painting houses. He bought a nice 1500 square foot home here in Orange County for 180k back in 2000 on a single 40k income.
Meanwhile my fiancée and I are living in the same home trying to save up, we have a combined 130k income and don’t spend on frivolous things and we still can’t afford to buy a home here.
My parents home is now worth 800k and homes around here are similar price. Feels unfair but it’s the state of things. Thinking of leaving to a cheaper state like Arkansas so we can actually buy a home start a family.
