"Making a million bucks is easy, bruh. You just gotta hustle, bruh!"
Now imagine MILLIONS of young people constantly seeing others driving Lambos and vacationing in Dubai while they can hardly save a dime to move out of their parents house. What effect do you think that's having on an ENTIRE generation of Americans?
To be honest, if you consider how house prices increased is not that hard to become a millionaire. Got an ex-coleague, he had an apartment in Boston and sold it and bought a house in a suburb. Then sold that house, bought another a bit further away and then sold that one and bought another house even further away he has a million easy. Still had to have the apartment to start with and he was smart enough to capitalize on the the house prices boom.
I don't know how anyone can afford to buy new houses now. Even in my area the price of houses is insanely high.
I can get onto Zillow right now and find house all across the country for $200k or less. The key? They are in small towns in the mid west. Wyoming, North & South Dakota, Nebraska, all in towns 40k and smaller.
So, if (I fully realize that is a BIG if) you can make that work, there are plenty of places to buy houses that are still affordable.
Where I live the avg price is $400k or so, but there are houses around me selling for $300k and lower. What you get is a smaller house that needs work, either due to disrepair, or is outdated and needs a remodel.
Somewhere between Rust-belt abandonland and those resort towns is what I need.
I want to live somewhere that is actually desirable to live but without too many people. Kind of a tall order.
Now if you want to talk about what hte boomers had that we don't... that's one thing. You could move to, like, California to get some extra room when the Midwest was too crowded.
