Jeremy(@jeremyct):My boomer mom watched me save for 3 years for a down payment. Knew exactly what I was saving for. We even looked at houses together a few times. Found one I loved. Put in an offer $10,000 over asking. Felt like it was finally happening. Got outbid by $40,000. Called my mom crying. She went quiet for a second. Then told me she was the one who outbid me. Said it was a good investment and she couldn’t pass it up. Then offered to rent it to me at market rate. Said I should be happy it stayed in the family. I’m paying rent. To my mom. For the house I almost bought.
