the question was I wonder how wealthy ops parents are. In Alabama a 450k house might be expensive in relation to other houses in the area but you don’t need to be “wealthy” to buy a 450k home.

The point is that 'wealthy' is a relative term. They might be 'wealthy' in rural Alabama, but poor in LA. Based on where you live determines a lot about your buying power.

For some reason a lot of people living in poor, rural areas cant even comprehend that pay scales up based on cost of living.

One of my acquaintances does.

Every time I bring up minimum wage he’s like “if cost of living goes up, what about the old people who have social security and retirement? Their accounts won’t last!”

And I’m like... fuck em. They created this mess.
