It reads that way, but I didn't take it that way. Although it's becoming increasingly difficult for middle-class families to pay off a mortgage, buying a home on such terms is decidedly a middle-class circumstance. It's only a rich circumstances to buy a house outright, so that's what I took SL's statement to refer to. And if it did not, that's what I refer to.
