fuck boomers  there is no point to work anymore if you make less than 70k a year. 1970 > average yearly wage: $9,870 > average house price: $17,000 > house cost about 1.72 times your annual (single income) salary. 2024 > average us yearly wage: $44,490 > average house price: $412k > house cost about 10 times your annual (single income) salary. then factor in increased taxes, insurance, car cost, food prices, utilities, education, etc could you imagine how fucking easy life would be if you were able to buy a home in cash after 2 years of savings?
