Yeah, "jd," the sibling reply here pretty much summed up my sentiment so I'll just say "ditto" to what they said and add: I wonder if maybe you're being a bit one-sided based on some assumptions about Americans in general. It isn't, as far as I'm concerned, as one-sided as you make it out to be. That's not to say that housing isn't an emotional purchase, it for sure can be and probably almost always partially is, but to say that's the primary reason doesn't reflect my experience here. Unless we're having a semantic disagreement about what financial prudence and practicality means. I just think those two things are decoupled from FOMO for the most part.
