Where I live, a mortgage payment is twice what rent is. My family won't move, and I'm not spending 75% of my paycheck on a mortgage. Family won't move to LCOL. Also mortgage payments have gone up like 35% since the rate hikes, and housing costs are at all time highs.

Stop being poor isn't an option.
