They play a lot of games with sales of older homes now that make them worth less..My first home was 39k but it had apartments around the corner and the value never increased much, just the taxes. I bought 43 acres in 1998 for 25k and now it worth a100k...I plan on buying more if I can live long enough...too bad us older guys werent around when we could of purchased a home for about 30,000 in the 70's, then flipped it for 250-300K in the early 2000's. Like my dad did, those days are long gone.Yes, now we are working on trillionaires because having so much more means so much more..i remember looking thru a friends Time or Life magazines from about 1945? {and older guy of course) there was some article showing 2? maybe 3 mansions for sale for about 15,000. i guess in 1945, that was the equivalent of 4/5 million?Illegals working on them, oh and gentrification just like a college degree.I started in 1979 and it was less than twenty dollars a credit hour at the University of Okiehoma with health fee..I made ten dollars an hour in 1983 as a bricklayer y first kid cost me $3,800 I paid in cash..My last one in 2002, $24,000...remember the good old days when a mansion cost between 15 and 20K? why did they go up to 20 Million?Housing cost are up 36% this year how about wages?
