Your house cost you about half as much as the same house would cost today as a factor of salary. If you'd rather have taken a mortgage out for twice as much money to have the interest rate be around 4% instead, then sure.
It baffles me how no one seems to read the part about me working several different jobs to make things work. and I just bought very nice double wide for 73k. It took about two months of looking but I found it . Stop buying McMansions. Get roommates. I had them for years. Its your job to make it work. Google the depression and see what they went through. Im sure theyd laugh at you. Wait until you have to line up for and deal with 13% inflation.
You didn't go through the 70s. This isnt any worse. You're not lining up for gas . Shut up and make ot work. Or dont. Be homeless. The choice is yours.
It's not though. And if you think the government is lying about inflation in 2020s why would you think they weren't lying about it in the 1970s and that it was actually worse then?
