[quote=Anonymous]"now I am 30 and make 180k and can't afford to buy a the equivillent sized boomer house because I bought after 2005 and can't sell my current small one." And of course none of the boomers understand why this is happening because to do so would admit that THEIR having these things is the result of luck and not just their hard work. My in laws bought a house in N. Arlington for $35K 30 years ago. My FIL went right out of college into a cushy job and was head of his division without 10 years. He retired making over a million dollars with a BA. Whereas me and DH have grad degrees and are struggling, making less than $100K. Of course ILs don't get it, since $85K was a lot to them when they started. We are always being asked why we don't buy a house someplace a little further out, like Del Ray, or why we don't just save a little? They literally DO NOT GET IT. I'm so tired of me and DH being made to feel like losers because I didn't have the opportunities and LUCK they did. [/quote]
