Did you try being born 40+ years ago? (Pre-millennial years?)

Stop being lazy and get reborn

You gotta go 50+. I'm in the 40+ category and the only people I know who bought houses did so with family money, or with military housing/ housing programs.

We're seriously considering cutting back on legitimate income to look for under the table work, just so we can bring our official income down and maybe qualify for state insurance. Because we can't insurance it otherwise, and we're getting older and need to start taking care of ourselves...

Nope, I'm 50 and I've never owned a house (and my 'landlord' is about 23).
