If you feel like homeownership is out of reach, you’re not imagining it.
In this episode, we break down why buying a home today is drastically harder than it was for previous generations and why this has nothing to do with lattes, avocado toast, or bad budgeting. We walk through real numbers, personal experiences, and the structural changes that reshaped the housing market after 2008.
We talk about:
How home prices have outpaced income
Why this isn’t a personal finance failure
The real costs of owning beyond the mortgage
When renting can be the smarter option
Practical paths to explore if buying is still your goal
This episode is for millennials who feel stuck, discouraged, or judged for not owning a home yet. The bottom line: it’s not you. The system changed.
If homeownership is something you’re still working toward, we hope this gives you clarity, validation, and a little more grace for yourself.

Why updating your beneficiaries is crucial
Whether it’s morally wrong to keep the money
How to support a child financially without giving cash to an ex’s new spouse
