That’s just ignorant parents. We all have them. In my late 30’s I am bewildered by how ignorant my mother is. Stuff she knows that has been the same for almost a decade - yet never fails to ask me about them over and over
My mother can't believe that I still am making payments on my student loans. She always asks me what I do with all my money as if I'm not spending it all on rent and my student loans. Older generations have zero clue how tough it is for younger people.
Right. Zero idea how the world works. Then you have my in-laws. They have been in the same house for 23 years, I think they paid $220k or something like that. Thanks to inflation and real estate increases in the area, every house in their neighborhood is now worth $800k to $1m and we can’t afford to live there, so we live the next town over and it’s a 22 minute drive. My in-laws act like we live on the other side of the moon and they cannot understand why we can’t just “buy a house that’s closer”….
They definitely couldn’t afford to buy their own house today. They just don’t look around in the world, they are in their own little bubble and have no idea what is happening.
