There are 3 ways this can happena) Salaries increase (unlikely)b) Interest rates drop (not very likely since we I believe we have $8T of debt to sell next year that is coming off books and China and Russia are not buying US dollar as muchc) Home prices drop2.

This means building a budget that includes setting aside funds for your next investment.
