Takeaway: it's actually mind-blowing that this many people own a home from the two most recent generations (Gen Z not pictured to avoid a horror story).

  • It takes two incomes on average to own a home these days
  • As a country, US has absolutely horrible childcare and after school care options. Many dual income household pay a high double-digit % of their mortgage for daycare
  • Many young parents are literally forced to reduce hours, stop career advancement or quit all together if they want to maintain population growth
  • Record number of people in their 20s and 30s living with parents

Thanks federal, state and local governments for collectively shrugging your shoulders while your most productive tax-paying cohorts are getting blamed for having it too easy, skipping homeownership, and not having kids. Good luck to all!
