...and in 2024 it's pushing $500k for 18 years.

Dad, if it was a loan, how the living fuck could that even be paid back in these circumstances?

P.S. This is why you don't have grandkids, Dad.

Seriously, like come on dad, it's not like I ever asked to be born!

Yeah but I make 100% more money now than I did in 1987.

Unfortunately the math on that would suggest you're still 300% behind, since 500k is a 400% increase of 100k.
