Average inflation-adjusted house price in 1950
(media.scored.co)
I make nearly $80k and my wife makes nearly $60k and we can't afford a house, and my family assumes the reason we can't afford a house is because we don't have traditional white collar jobs. They're frequently pushing me to explore this or that career field. Like, no, the reason we can't afford a house isn't because of my job, and me starting over at $20/hr to learn something new isn't going to fix the housing market.
