      Not even an exaggeration. My parents bought their house in the 1960s for $14K. Their 30-year mortgage went almost to the year 2000 and their monthly payment was fucking $85 the entire time. They sold it fifteen years ago for $190K.

      The problem is the house is so overvalued, they never modernized it, and is far beyond what most people can afford for it. They’re just born at the right time to be able to retire and have a house.
