I bought my first house in the late 70s for under $50,000. Hearing about million-dollar price tags for small homes now makes me wonder how younger families will ever keep up.
My daughter lives in Los Angeles, and she tells me their rent is higher than her entire Social Security check would be. This video confirmed exactly what she’s facing.
Back in 2008, I watched neighbors in Phoenix lose their homes. Seeing it happen again in 2025 shows we don’t learn from history.
We dreamed of retiring in Miami, but after learning about skyrocketing insurance costs, I see now it would have been a trap for our savings.
I raised three kids in New York when rents were still reasonable. Now I can’t believe a one-bedroom averages $3,100—it’s not the same city we knew.
