Reply to comment by Kozzzman in FIL overlooking the property he just bought. New Brunswick, 1979. by Brucius704

If you have an average job in NYC metro and bought property in NYC metro, then there is something you're not telling us.

Nope. Saved up and bought a little house outside NYC.

Define "Outside NYC". Can I ask your job and what you paid for the property? I suppose it's possible there are a few unicorns out there, but mileage varies and for most, owning a home mostly feels un-attainable at this point and is something only boomers or rich people can do.

I’m a Gen Xer. I work for NYC as a civil servant and bought a home just outside of Westchester county.
