The American Dream of Homeownership Has Aged (Literally)
A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows the median age of U.S. homebuyers has climbed to 56 in 2024, the oldest on record — up from 31 in 1981. For first-time buyers, the median age has risen from 29 to 38, reflecting how much harder it’s become to buy a home early in life. This 25-year jump marks a fundamental shift in affordability and access. Median home prices have surged to roughly $420,000, while the median household income is about $79,000 — far below the $110,000+ estimated to comfortably afford that home at current mortgage rates of 7–8%. In 1981, a typical home cost about three times the average household income; today, it’s closer to five-and-a-half times, and much higher in many metro areas.

Dreams of Grief
I have been having dreams of my dad. He’s never in my dreams, you see. Perhaps in plot but rarely does show up as more than a blurred character. As in life, so in the dreaming world. Recently however, he’s been the main character. Odd indeed.

Men Are More Emotional Than Women (They’re Just Worse at Handling It)
I grew up in a house ruled by a man who couldn’t find his car keys without turning it into a war zone. My stepdad. He threw plates, punched walls, and handed out black eyes like party favours. I learned early that a man’s anger could fill a house faster than smoke — and that it was always, somehow, our job to clear it out.

The Unspoken Reality of Pet Ownership
Most people consider the puppy stage to be the most challenging. With the challenges of crate training, potty training, and behavioral issues, owners find themselves overwhelmed by the responsibility to raise a puppy. While puppy behavior is aggravating to navigate, they end, and the family can fall into a comfortable routine, with the puppy learning the habits and schedules of its owners. Pets have become a part of the family, integrating into daily life, holidays, and special occasions. Pet owners feel that they cannot imagine life without pets. Their existence alone enriches our lives, but we can also start taking them for granted.
