Roughly a third of Canadian first-time homebuyers have needed help from a family member to finance their entry into the housing market, new polling suggests.

I definitely get a kick out of young families who gloat about their custom built homes on social media after their disgustingly wealthy parents financed them. Meanwhile most families still have a long (and often impossible) road ahead of them before they can claw their way out of rentals and into something they can proudly call their own.

My wife has an unhealthy exposure to an old acquaintance of hers who lives that Instagram aesthetic lifestyle. Doesn't work, owns a lavish million dollar home that she #livelaughloves, color coordinates all of her poor children's clothes and possessions to be compliant with her beige aesthetic. She's certain #blessed.
