The World

Yesterday we discussed home ownership in America. In the past, owning your own property was a major component of the American dream. However, these days there are a lot of reasons to avoid buying a house. We heard from many listeners on this topic.

Steve from Atlanta called in to say:

“It’s interesting that this is the first time in a long time that I’ve actually heard adults say, ‘I will never buy a home again.’
