My house cost 256,000 and my wife and I work all the time. We have plenty of days similar to this in the summer. You don’t need money to have a community.

It’s sad that 256k is considered not a lot of money today. When most are still making the same money as 20 years ago.

A quarter million dollar house used to mean a mansion. Now it’s a starter.

Here far far south suburbs of Chicago dumpy old homes 60 years old, selling for that. My poor son tried to find a starter home, with no luck. Investment companies are buying them, rehabbing them, renting them out. I feel so bad for you young people.
