Speaking of Fediverse whiners and owning a house in America: I know a late gen-x couple, who own a house and have 2 kids. I say "late" because I technically belong to gen-x, but I'm much older. They may even be borderline millenials. The husband and I were in a car club together. They started saving for the downpayment even before they graduated from college.

I always thought that they were high school sweethearts, but I learned recently they they actually meat at a group for tall people in a Mensa chapter. Before you ask, neither of them is Jewish. But both are tall - only a couple of cm or an inch shorter than I. Their children are also very tall.

It is not an isolated case in my social circle.
