Karen gets lectured.

This entire post is dumb. You cant act like inflation only exists in certain spots and not others to make yourself feel slighted one way or another.

35000 was a large amount in those days. 400k is a large amount now.

You cant argue the house should be 120k now, and pretend wages have also risen. The people buying a 35000 house back then, would be the people making 100-200k now, not 40k combined.

Its bullshit math to make people feel like they aren't part of their own problem. The housing market rises and falls with demand. Its not artificially inflated because boomers put everyone in debt. Student loans, healthcare, national debt... those are worth bitching about.

People making $10-15 an hour now, if equivalent to minimum wage back then, wouldn't be buying 35,000$ houses.
