My mom didn’t work. My dad made minimum wage. I grew up in a 5 bedroom, 2 story house. My mom and dad each had a car, and my dad always had a truck to haul shit around.
I have been called a liar at least 100 times in the last 10 years when I say this online.
My mom and dad paid less than 30k for that house. It needed a little work, but we were able to move into it as soon as they closed on the loan.
They were able to borrow against their equity any time they needed anything.
Sure, we didn’t have fancy vacations. We mostly went to South Holston (Tennessee) and camped and fished. A few times we went to Dollywood.
My kids have never had a vacation because I could never afford it. I live in a shitty apartment and we can barely afford that.
I fucking miss having all of that space so bad, and if I had been smart I would have fought with everything in me to keep that place and I’d have found a way to do the repairs it needed.
