    I bought my first house back in 2009.

    My monthly mortgage payments have been flat for 15 years now. I pay less than 1/4 per month that someone buying my house today would.

    Even though we make 2X what we did back when we purchased the first house (graduate degrees), we would still struggle to make the payments on our current place if I had to pay the market price today.
