My mom was also an agent/broker when my brother and I were kids in the late 70s-early 80s. I had zero interest but enough still rubbed off onto me that when I first did a little shopping back in 2004 I was shocked to hear for what the agent said I qualified. He gave me the whole spiel about how most people don't keep their houses longer than 5 years, sub-prime this, balloon payments that...
It made enough of an impression on me that I started putting together the pieces of the unsustainable economy puzzle. I had a conversation about it with a colleague in 2006. We still talk about how we predicted the big crash.
