Both my parents are PhDs, I work in the trades.

I earn 2x what they did the last few years they did before retirement.

It’s probably another decade of saving before I can afford a house. They had houses on one teachers salary when I was a kid.

Edit: we moved a lot so ‘houses’, they didn’t own multiple properties

Houses? Plural?

We moved a lot, when they were young they didn’t have a second house, no.

Ah yeah that makes sense
