DESCRIPTION:Mateusz Halawa\, Marta Olco?-Kubicka\n\nTo help the daughter 
 in her mortgage: Practices of intergenerational support among Warsaw’s y
 oung homebuyers \n\nIn Radom\, a city 60 miles from Warsaw and a major s
 ource of its young labor force\, a concerned mother describes the metrop
 olitan life of her daughter and son-in-law. They own an apartment\, but 
 “the bank lives with them.” She means by that the historically novel pra
 ctice of domesticating mortgages\, which over the last decades have emer
 ged as devices transforming the housing pathways of the first postsocial
 ist generations and mediating their life course transitions. Part of a l
 arger research on practices of householding among young middle-class Var
 sovians\, this paper explores the lived experiences of homeownership—alr
 eady realized or still imagined—through the lenses of generational divid
 es\, housing classes\, trajectories of migration\, and the tectonic rest
 ructuring of housing regime since the fall of socialism. Based on ethnog
 raphic research in 28 young family households in Warsaw and on interview
 s with 16 parents supporting their adult children’s pursuit of homeowner
 ship\, the paper shows how the incapability of young couples to manage o
 n their own the mortgage on their first apartment embeds the process of 
 financialization not merely in one\, but in several kin-related househol
 ds\, most often parental and grandparental. Our analysis focuses on mora
 l discourses justifying and regulating the flow of family wealth into th
 e mortgage household\, on the continued presence of parents in the house
 holding practices in the mortgaged apartments of their semi-autonomous a
 dult children\, and on the emergent intergenerational middle-class econo
 mic imaginary\, which increasingly center on acquiring housing assets as
  a source of wealth\, welfare\, and social advancement.\n\nMateusz Halaw
 a is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Anthropology at The New School
  for Social Research in New York and a researcher at the Institute of Ph
 ilosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. His work focus
 es on the cultural analyses of economic life. He is currently writing on
  the rise of mortgage credit in Poland\, looking at the relationship bet
 ween social transformations and finance. \n\nMarta Olcon?-Kubicka is Ass
 istant Professor at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Pol
 ish Academy of Sciences and a researcher at the Max Planck Partner Group
  for the Sociology of Economic Life. Her work focuses on the culturally 
 oriented sociology of money and the ethnography of money practices in ho
 useholds. She is currently working on a monograph on household financial
  arrangements among young middle-class couples in Warsaw.\n\n
