      Yup.

      About how old my grandpa was when he bought a plot of land, a shit ton of wood, and a shit ton of concrete and built the house that was sold to pay off his medical debt when he died…

          I lean on the word “about”.

          He actually illegally enlisted in the Navy during WWII when he was 16, so it was more like 20/21 when he bought the plot and materials.

          Ya, still dark AF. And I also don’t think its a rare family story.
