    shit sucks. bought my house at age 38, that was fucking old back then, but i’m in an expensive metro so okay. thing is, we’re ready to upgrade and an upgrade is going to be fucking $2M, if i can even find a fucking upgrade in my town (questionable). all of this to say: i’m probably stuck, and if i can even move, some schmuck is going to buy my mediocre house for like $1.2 - $1.3M. housing’s totally, completely fucked.

          Okay so 600k? Even still though, a million dollar home you own thats gone up far over what you paid for it is going to leave you with a lot of options.

          Its confusing to me that you need to upgrade and so are upset about the housing situation. You seem to be doing well by any standard I’m aware of so I’m asking what do I not know?

            If people like me can’t upgrade, people who can afford $1.2M can’t get a modest house, and people with less than a $1M budget are utterly fucked. They’ll either move away or pay rent until they die.
