Congratulations on being born early enough to buy at what was likely a relative historical low in prices?

Meanwhile, everyone else who is only coming into the workforce in the last few years would like some anecdotes or advice that's relevant for the present, when prices have been at astronomic highs relative to incomes for years and the key goal of government economic policy and intervention - at many levels - seems to be preserving high real estate values for long-time owners.

If you want to comment on the virtues of owning versus renting, I suggest you do the math but do it on the basis of the present, not information from nearly a quarter century ago.

I hope Riga (or wherever) is treating you well. Lots of underappreciated gems over there.
