Good to hear somebody saying it. The avocado toast, and cell phones and flashy cars get a lot of blame for irresponsible spending, but houses get a pass because they always appreciated when boomers were the ones owning them.

It's not, it's consumption if it will be just as dated when you're done with it. |
