This is definitely not true. A house does change your personality.
Suddenly, you can't really move, you MUST keep up fiscal
responsibilities, you can't just quit your job, etc. Plus the sacrifice
necessary (time/money) required to just buy the house in the first
place. All of that definitely changes a person.

It's obvious that your awe/appreciation/judgement of your friend went
up. I'm positive that other people picked up on it too. And it wasn't
BAM! either. To do all that stuff probably took 6 months, quite a
large time commitment.

I actually make it a point not to weave it into my conversations. But
those facts are actually pretty obvious to others in the same position.
