    Yeap, and extra long commutes to higher paying jobs. I know people doing 1.5 hour drives one way to their job.

      The real move is to sell your car and move into the city where you can walk bike or take transit to your high paying job.

          I don’t know what city you’re talking about but you can easily buy a home in a major city such as Chicago on the average salaries for white collar workers

            IDK about Chicago, but it wasn’t true for me in 2019 in Minneapolis. I did manage to find a house, but yikes, what a rollercoaster that was! Definitely not ‘easy’ by any stretch.
