Why Housing Is Unaffordable (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)

Why does housing feel impossible right now, no matter how hard you work? In this first lesson of our free course, How to Buy a House You Can Actually Afford, I explain what’s really driving the housing crisis, and why it’s not your fault. Tawnee and I lived this. When we were in the city, every month felt tighter. Groceries, utilities, and property taxes kept climbing, and our payment turned into a constant weight on our chest. We wondered what we were doing wrong. The answer: nothing. The system changed, and nobody gave regular people a playbook. In this lesson, you’ll learn the 3 forces behind today’s housing affordability problem: 1️⃣ Home prices have climbed faster than wages ever could 2️⃣ Traditional advice (“save 20% down”) was written for an economy that no longer exists 3️⃣ Most people look in the same places at the same types of homes, which limits their options without them realizing it You’ll also see the real numbers. The average US home is around $425,000 with a $2,500 mortgage payment, and average rent is about $2,000. I bought my first home in 1998 for $130,000. If you’ve felt behind, stuck, or ashamed that you’re not further along, this lesson is for you. You’re not broken and you’re not too late. You’ve just been living through one of the toughest housing markets in modern history without a roadmap. ▶️ Next lesson: the 3 beliefs that keep people stuck, and why none of them are true. 📺 Watch the full FREE course in order:    • How to Buy a House You Can Afford — Free C...   #housingcrisis #affordablehousing #homeprices #homeownership #barndominium
