OT: Speaking as a former real estate broker & business owner, the biggest sea change in the "Young-Couple-Buying-First-Home" scenario occurred around the early '60s.

Before then most people dreamed of eventually owning a home as big and nice as Mom & Dad's. They knew that they'd have to begin with a small starter home, and work their way up.

Now many young couples want a McMansion immediately, right out of the gate, even if they really can't afford it.

All that is needed to make a happy life is within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius
