[quote=Anonymous]My immigrant grandparents stared life in a different big U.S. city as a live-in maid and sanitation worker. Then bought a 2 flat and rented the second unit, later a small SFH where they cared for a dying relative and he kids all shared one bedroom. Their children lived at home and -wait for it - gave their full paychecks to my grandmother- from ages 16 on until age 30 in my mother's case at which point she married and moved out. That is how they afforded a house with low wages, the oldest way in the world, multiple jobs and multiple generations.[/quote]
