I was going to include house much they sold it for a few years ago but I didn't think it was a fair comparison because they added a second floor

It's the thing I use to hammer home the idea that our lives are dramatically worse than our parents. I could not dream of paying that mortgage but my mom could pay it as a single mother of two because they bought it in the 80s for 300k and engineer salaries allowed them to pay it.
