Well, like you said, you aren’t married so it makes sense that you don’t get it. My wife has her MBA, makes more than me and is most certainly blessed with more brains then me. That being said, her desire to “nest” and have her children in a place that is “all ours” trumps her 30 pound head. She understands what this market is doing, but she still wants to buy. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a 150,000 condo or a 2-4 mil dollar place in RSF. Raptors wife wants to do what my wife wants to do; buy a house to call her own. In my experience nature is taking over and I get it.
Begrudging someone who has more money than you is childish. Painting Raptor’s wife as bourgeois and lazy because she wants to own a home is presumptive.
