    Single-income households aren’t some long lost relic of the ages. Plenty of people have living parents that prospered during that time.

      I bought in 2005-ish. Even though I had a decent job, I wouldn’t have been offered a mortgage big enough to afford anything describable as a house on my own.

      I can’t imagine much has changed since then, and it wasn’t a new thing. Women weren’t seen as stay at home housewives in 2000.
