People younger than me deserve a chance to live here too.
I pay my mortgage, I sleep in my bed, I drink scotch on my patio. If my place is worth 80k or 800k nothing changes in my daily life.
I get people are selling their homes to retire, but they are sitting on like 1000% returns so it’s not like they are fucked either, and if they are, they retired on the premise of winning a lottery essentially.
It's not totally "pretend" money that's stuck inside your walls, that equity is accessible.

Not saying I totally disagree with the theme of your comments here, but playing gains off as completely meaningless is a bit understated.
