In 1986, I was a kid. I was making like $250 a week take-home and I bought a house for 42k. It was a two bedroom, 1000 sf bungalow in a nice neighborhood.....it was beautiful. Nice lot, nice neighbors, I minted the joint out. Forty-two g's. Todays money, that's $126,500. THAT'S WHAT A GD STARTER HOME SHOULD COST !
...Instead, you get a fckng SUV with a back-up camera that shuts off at stop signs for 120 large!

My second home purchase was in the early eighties for 35,000. A three bedroom ranch. The first one was a small bungalow foe about 15,000. Those days are probably gone.
