    didn’t they get the memo: houses are for the 1% now. 250K might sound like a lot enough, but you’re still a peasant to the people who own you

      You raise a great point.

      To the Owning Class, those working for money are nothing and replaceable. Rise up with the poor.

      As I mentioned elsewhere, over half of millennials own their own home. So it’s more like houses are for the 53%, but I take your point.

        is that statistic own their house outright or have a mortgage that once they pay off, if they pay it off, will then own it. Either way Im amazed its 50% but remember in 2008 mortgage rates were about 6%

          The majority of all homeowners have a mortgage.

          Yeah, mortgage rates are definitely higher now. 30 year fixed rates are around 7%, if your credit score is around 700. Still around 6% with high credit scores.
