That whole upward mobility thing is overrated

Thought I had this morning on the way to the shower...

When did it become a NORMAL EXPECTATION to have a bigger house than our parents? My grandparents, for example, had a much SMALLER house than THEIR parents. They built it from scratch and paid for it as they went along.

Maybe I'm clinging to the idea because MY house (condo) is MUCH SMALLER than my parents' small house? I don't know. We bought what we could afford at the time- and good thing, too, because life threw us a few work lemons in the meantime but we never had a problem paying our mortgage.

I'm just sayin.
