Ya, $500,000 might be a bit of an exaggeration. But I missed the boat on buying a house back when you could find them at $100,000 in still ok condition. But ever since marijuana was legalized here in Colorado prices have only increased. Now you can get a $200,000 home that's either in quite poor condition or that's a trailer on a lot that also has lot rent. Maybe the bubble will pop someday, but so far buying a house is out of my reach in the area I live at. And I'm not sure I could find a job that pays as good as what I get here if I were to move somewhere else in the country.

I think I could buy a $200,000 home if I really tried in my area. But that's a big commitment. And I don't think I'm an exception to society as I don't have any debts but do make the household median wage, meaning half of American households make as much as I do or less.

On another note, the idea of moving to Mexico has crossed my mind. However, all the homes down there have 120V 30A mains, and that's that. I guess Mexico won't be joining the EV race any time soon. Of course if I moved to Mexico I probably wouldn't own a vehicle anyway.
