Well, on the other hand, owning a home is something fairly serious – you don’t really build one just for the maximum of ten years during which the later brats are cute
Many of us actually built purely out of selfishness: everything nice and new, lasting another 30 years before having to go to a nursing home at 90+.
Dream garden is created, finally a bungalow, etc.
from the 50+ generation
but keep postponing their plans because the pressure is not yet great enough. These very people will seriously approach the sale of their house as soon as there is a real danger that they might get less for it next month and the move to the children and grandchildren threatens to fall through, at least not above ground.
When I see the 70+ generation of my parents, they care less about what the house brings today or tomorrow than the fact that they will sell when they can no longer manage. They don’t run to the bank every three months but enjoy the house and garden as long as possible or as long as they find joy in it. Certainly, it is a problem to wait until they are sick. But they definitely do not use the sale price as a reason to change.
The war generation is almost extinct and with it the giver generation. Now it’s the turn of those who think of themselves. And the young people growing up are even more selfish.
Families with children actually have more the problem of the parents’ self-actualization. They have no reliable childcare because the inheritance is no longer hoarded but intensively used in old age.
