Once again you assume a lot about who posts and hangs out here. There are many income levels, family types, education levels, and job titles roaming these boards.
Could it be, possibly, that many of us renters were just entering the labor force in the mid to late 90s, and couldn’t possibly afford to buy at the time? Could it be, that as the years rolled by, and the crazy property valuation kept out of pace with our paltry pay increases? Could it also be, that since we saved and invested our money, rather than sell our souls for a liar loan, that we are now actually looking forward to owning in the next few years, on *gulp* a 30 year, fixed rate, 20% down loan, that we actually plan on paying off?
I would not be so quick to rush in where angels fear to tread.
