[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they compare? I am struggling coming to terms with the fact that our likely forever home is older, smaller by 1k sq ft (more for DH), and in a less desirable neighborhood than the home I grew up in. We make way more than either set of parents ever did and they were in this area as well, but of course housing prices have rapidly outpaced income so comparable homes to those we grew up in are hundreds of thousands out of reach for us. What about you?[/quote]

It sounds like you are more dissatisfied with the house AND location than other posters. There are a lot of posters that grew up in the burbs in a big home and prefer a smaller place in a part of the city they really love. It doesn’t sound like this is the case for you.

Houses are much more expensive in relation to income now. Just keep in mind that this isn’t a ‘you’ problem and you certainly aren’t alone in it. The world is different now, don’t try to measure yourself by the standards of past generations. [/quote]
