I love interior design and home remodeling, so I watch more than my fair share of HGTV. I just wished they'd be honest about how a 28 year old, single woman with a $50k/year job can afford to remodel and restore a 125 year old, runned-down house purchased for $90k that I know cost her at least $200k to restore. Trust fund? Big bank loan? Related to everyone doing the work?
It's a dishonest depiction of those good ole' American bootstraps we keep being told to grab on to and it really irks me!
