re: WSJ Piece: Young Americans Are Getting Left Behind by Rising Home Prices, Higher Stocks

A bigger problem is people wanting to keep up with the Jones. My parents (WWII) raised 8 kids in an 1100 sq ft. house and it never seemed like it was too small. People have too much JUNK instead of cash. I have a 2600 sq ft home and now that the kids are gone it’s too damn big. I now realize it was all a waste of money even though I dont accumulate JUNK. But of course the wife does as is the norm.
