Enterprising Americans can turn these challenges into opportunities. It’s definitely a buyer’s market for home buyers right now.

I think Gen X is at a disadvantage from all the opportunities we’ve been handed. We’ve never learned how to “do without” and sacrifice. My parents were children during WWII and they never wanted me to go without like they did.

Not true. My family did without. As children from a broken home we lived in a 50’s suburban neighborhood on Long Island and had no car til I was 12 y.o. We carried groceries home from the grocery store which was about a mile away.
