My mother was surprised when I told her how expensive it was to buy a house right now. She told me that my dad paid 50k for their house and took him one year to pay it... This was 38 years ago.

My parents paid $35k for a 4 BR/2.5 BA suburban split level house in 1970. Adjusted for inflation, that house should cost $264,000 in 2023. The home recently sold for $500,000. No way would my parents or me be able to afford to purchase the ol homestead again.
