I just started a new job earning $17/hour, and that's a whopping $.50 more than the starting wage due to experience. My Mom, a retired boomer, asked me how much I'd be earning. I told her, and she asked me how soon I plan on looking for a home in the area. I asked her how much she thought a house would cost in the area (near a large university, very affluent neighborhood). She guessed about half the average asking price. Then I asked her to guess the average rent for a one bedroom apartment in the same area. She guessed less than half the average.

She refused to believe me. She thinks I need to stop looking at brand new homes/apartments.

It’s crazy. I fear for my kids.
