You can't afford a McMansion. It means enslavery to a huge mortgage for 30 years. 30 years of your life in the rat race. Don't do it. Adapt. Think outside the box.
It adds up over time, one of the biggest costs is getting permits approved. Workers are being paid for doing nothing during that time. There's too much micromanagement.
I was lucky enough to escape the rat race after merely 10 years (although it’s 15 if you count higher education, and 30 if you count K-12), and I still feel like I wrecked myself beyond belief.
I could buy a house all cash even at the current market prices but I don’t even want to because I lack any sort of practical skill required in order to maintain it and I’d likely turn it into a trash heap in no time.
Someone please build me a Time Machine to go back to 1999, I promise I’ll pay you handsomely.
Labor and material cost is very inflated. For shitty pine wood and plastic/vinyl materials and inferior spic labor.
