Part 6/8:
As the speaker weighs their options, they underscore a significant socio-economic issue: rising home prices make it increasingly difficult for families to save for a large down payment. They observe that houses in decent neighborhoods start at around $300,000, leading them to question the feasibility of ever saving 20% for a down payment. The speaker advocates for a more cautious approach—staying on a budget and making smarter financial decisions to eventually achieve their home ownership dreams.
