Lots of families can’t afford any of life's

Instead of facing reality, we borrowed to the hilt and now facing what we refused to face just a few years ago, but now we’re $40 trillion in debt on top of things.

Good thing the Americans voting public has reasonable expectations and is willing to accept reality when it hits them in the face. HA!

Here's a simple solution for you: get out. Cuba is close. Mexico is closer. Russia is an option, as is North Korea. Maybe you'd be happier in one of those places.

I remember a long time ago seeing neighborhoods being built that were "starter homes" that were like 900sq ft with a garage to make it look larger. I havent seen any built in a very very long time though. Which makes me believe they stopped building them because people stopped buying them. We have a problem now where kids want to move out of their parents house into something even bigger and better than their parents house. They dont want a 900sq ft house, they want a 3200 sq ft for their very first house but then cry because they cannot afford "500k" houses and all houses cost "500k" etc. They watch too much tik tok and think they are supposed to live in luxury at all times even without doing anything to earn it.

You haven't driven through Binghampton recently, I guess.
