everything coming up gray

They didn't explicitly mention this in this story, but this "graying of
America" could be directly related to the aging of Americans, i.e., the
number of older people continues to grow.

I guess my bigger question is: when did buying a car or a house start
becoming a fungible, safe investment?

(As aside: Millennials are also a big cohort, so there's still a little
bit of time before the US population begins to shrink.)
