Very confused by this comment. This thread is mostly people saying that their house is smaller and not as nice as the large suburban homes they grew up in, but they value the location, good schools, walkability, etc. In what way is that an immature approach?

Reminds me of when I chose to live with roommates in my 20s so that I could live in the city where I'd have plenty of social opportunities while still saving money, and my dad told me that he was disappointed that I was still "living like a college student." He could not conceive of the fact that living in a place where I could socialize more would be good for my career and make it easier for me to find a partner (it did), and that having a roommate is a practical sacrifice that allowed me to save money for a future home purchase. He honestly would have preferred I live alone in the suburbs because that seemed more "adult" to him, even though it would have been incredibly isolating and a waste of money, as it would have required me to own a car or spend a ton on commuting.

Maybe it's Boomers who have never grown up, and are now getting lapped by their kids.[/quote]
