Why should this be unreasonable is the real question. Owning two used vehicles is reasonable. Owning a modestly sized home like this should be reasonable, it's not even large using the proportions of the cars for scale.

>>509071030 (OP)
where I grew up in the 90s that kind of house cost $60k and a factory worker made $40k. Even if Homer was just a labourer he would be able to afford it. But actually for the position he has at the plant he should be living in a way nicer place.

The house in "You only move twice" is more reflective of what he should have been living in if his salary reflected his position

>>509071429
Those houses will be turned into multi-unit dwellings, a few bedrooms + bathroom is going to be an apartment with 2-3-4 apartments per mcmansion.

Homer lived in Springfield and worked and Three Mile Island. Back then with lower population, less traffic, it was an easy commute by car. He made good money because he never complained about safety, which Mr. Burns liked.

If you want to be a reactor operator you join the US Navy, serve 60 years (I think there's like a large bonus if you can pass the test, like down payment on a nice house).

Then you can find a job at a power plant, Easily make $300k as a senior reactor operator, but you constantly test to keep your job and the position generally ages you like a president.

>>509071030 (OP)
He was a very senior power engineer. Even today he could afford that.

>>509071807
Homer always tried to be nice to Grimey, even if Homer was an annoying retard. Poor 'ol Grimey. I have both been Grimey, and been the victim of envious Grimeys. Really, all he needed was to be loved by someone, anyone and then all that bitterness would have gone away.

>>509071429
how are you going to pay propery taxes even?

1.5 million means $1250 in tax every single month

>>509075142
This is bullshit. Can't own land unless you pay the government for land that they don't own. They won't cut your lawn, or replace your gutters. It's just robbery.

>>509075142
Cities scale property tax to meet spending not just taking in huge windfall taxes, unless they are in states without income/sale taxes. For example my condo has changed in value by up and down over 100% yet every year my tax bill has been about the same.
If the average housing price in a city is 1M and another similar sized city and climate is 200K the higher value city will have about 1/5 the overall tax rate because they both need about the same funding.

>>509075551
Yep I just paid for my house in full but it doesn't really feel like I own it because I have no idea if I will be able to live here in 10 years since the gov can just decide its worth 1 billion at any time and then charge me 1% of that every year.

Plus any dollar I earn, the gov takes half. I'm actually -1000 every month right now. But that doesn't stop the gov from charging me income tax on the savings I have in the bank, even though the interest rate isn't even enough to cover inflation.

So my house is costing me 1000 a month in fees, and my bank is losing 2500 a year to inflation, but I still have to pay extra taxes on the "profit" I'm making. I have looked up other countries to move to, I have no idea what to do and everything seems fucked.

Houses were seen as a place to live. We had yet moved to the point of capital investments, retirement nest eggs, rental properties, passive income, speculation, tax revenue sources. People saw houses as a good to be used. Today houses are the "fix-all" to society's ills. Scaring people into believeing social security is going bankrupt forced boomers to treat homes as retirement funds. Cities want to tax the hell out of houses because they have built their cities around government services. People fell for the passive income meme and have begun buying houses to try and make their own businesses. Wall Street of course just want's to jack up the prices as much as possible.

>>509078769
assuming he started making 362$ a week in 1989, that's 1000 a week in todays money. assuming everybody in springfield is immortal and never ages we can probably guess his house was probably 60-80k max back then and he's gotten raises and cost of living increases over the last 35 years. he likely brings in over 1500 a week at this point and the house and car has been paid off for a while now.

>>509081596
His cars are old, 1970's vintage. They only cost a few thousand and have long been paid off. More amazing that they family is still using old cars and keeping them running for so long. No car payments basically made it so he didn't have to spend much. Even things like taxes and registration are going to be no more than $50 a year. The insurance companies probably hate him too since they are having to payout for these shitboxes a huge inflated price. Homer was just born at the right time in history to get what he got. If he were like us today he would probably be a renter for life.

>>509073439
7% social security + medicare
7% social security + medicare your employer pays on your behalf (if you work for yourself then you pay the full 15%)
20% income tax

Basically if income tax, social security, and medicare were banned, everyone would see an instant 35% increase in pay, and prepared food prices would go down 25%

Funny but not how that works. Your wife also has to work, that's how people are able to afford anything. It's called "dual income" and it's the new hotness for extracting wealth from the middle class. Ever wonder how people are buying $400,000 homes? Well that's how.

>>509089249
I am 41. It maybe fictional, but a man could live pretty well on $362 a week back then. And yes, he could have a house like that. Mind you my parent got their first house in early 90s, it was a 4/2 with 2 garages on my dads salary. And he worked installed carphones for Vodafone. Very easy job. They paid like $20,000 for the house which was brand new

>>509089413
tho shit like lawnmowers, TV's and such were significantly more expenisve. If you wanted a Big screen then, you were gonna pay $4000 for it. A lawnmower would set you back $800. Certain categories of goods have come way down in price since then but staples like housing and cars obvouisly not

I remember my mom getting a blender for her birthday and that was a huge fucking deal because blenders costed alot

>>509089413
My parents got theirs for $30,000 in 1998. It sold for $215,000 in 2021. I remember when a $100,000 house was considered a mansion and a $32,000 salary was considered a manger's salary.

>>509071429
When your parents bought that the land was worth nothing. It was probably in a tertiary satellite suburb with a 1 hour commute to the nearest city center. The city grew and now the land is worth a lot more because there are more people.

How do zoomers not understand this?

You can buy a house RIGHT NOW for $100,000, outside any major city in the US. But you do not have the right to prime real estate for pennies on the dollar. Neither did your parents or grandparents, they commuted.

Housing will remain fucked until there's another domestic low risk asset class for capital to flow into. It's not going to be bonds because bonds got fucked after 08 and they're not getting unfucked without a government default. It's not going to be stocks because boomers pulled the Glass Steagall ladder up behind them. The only way the likes of Vanguard or Black Rock can get better than government bond yield is by playing slum lord, so that's exactly what they'll do. The problem isn't anything in the housing market, it's the government and the boomer entitlements.

The bank because of the 12 reverse mortgages they took out against it to travel the country in an RV

Here's my advice: get good at something to the point that employers have a reason to pay you more than 90% of the competition. We live in a highly competitive world. You will not get paid jack shit unless you are highly exceptional in your trade or line of work. Oh yeah, and another thing: Fuck you, you're not entitled to a fucking thing. Im highly capable as a mechanic to the point where I can do it self employed, for an employer, or even start my own business. Either way, I make bank because I'm a fucking badass master tech.

While this is true at an individual level, you cant build a society off 'just be the top 10% :)'. There will simply always be people who are merely unexceptional, and they will be the majority of people. Its not even a matter of different specializations, there are people who dedicated their working lives to the same career as you and tried hard every day and you are still better than them. Understanding what is required to succeed in a broken system is not a fix for the system.

Not always. In some older neighborhoods, ones where sidewalks were only installed later, or in ones where the road was expanded either for traffic or just for on street parking there can a sidewalk right up to the road with nothing between becuase to do other wise would mean having to spend more on emminent domain for each and every property the sidewalk runs past.

Why is it so hard to comprehend for Americans that their poverty is the price of an empire. You wanted for everyone to suck your dick so in turn you did what all empires do, siphon off the money and capitol from the center to the imperial periphery to keep your vassals happy with gibs.

Gibs being your navy, ensuring the global trade with it, and "protecting" Europe so we can have our welfeare state, healthcare, maternity leave and +30 days of payed vacation.

I'm not even going to entertain the idea. Prob apartment renting for life. The only way you could get a house in my generation is if you sweat dollar bills or find 100+ year old house in an absolute shithole crack neighborhood

Very, very common. I know lots of people who still live in Austin, where they grew up, who are in their mid/late 30s, married, both working with a 4-year degree, and still rent

They made the cartoon back in 1989. That is how.

this is the general story of the economy of our lives.

stuff made in china getting cheaper all the time.

then our friendly central bankers need to save us from the evils of deflation, print a fuckton of money

said money is spent on mass importing wellfare queens

now everything not made in china goes up in price, such as housing schooling or healthcare

you can thank your central banker; average inflation is now close to zero percent (well if you leave the housing out, because we needed a little extra money to import rapefugees)

Yeah that's what they do in Gen X. But they don't just let you leave. They make it a point to destroy you first, then kick you to the curb. When you are young you don't expect this from your own kind and don't have a chance to defend attacks from them you don't anticipate. You trust them as they are the authority. I never expected such globohomo cruelty, I wish I had been given for adoption instead.

We also didn't have hordes of browns and these days forget prime real estate, we're rapidly talking about any real estate.

People should not have to commute more than an hour just to afford reasonable housing either, we're doing society wrong and the supposed point of a government is to stop such things from happening, even in your country.

Grimy was jealous. He couldn’t understand why everyone at the plant had advanced science degrees while Homer was there because, well, he always has been; he just showed up the day they opened the plant. In short, he just couldn’t deal with the fact that life isn’t fair and wound up killing himself as a result. Many such cases.

a lot of people dont even pay a loan, they pay for a lease that at then end of have to either pay off the residual (usually around 50% of the value of the car) once the lease is over or sell the car and begin paying a lease again, they have no intention or ability to ever owning a car they just pay to use one forever.

Novated lease agreements hold certain tax benefits that might make it worth it in some instances (payment is taken from your pre tax salary, reducing your taxable income to a lower tax bracket and paying for the car loan without having to pay tax offsets, some lease options include fuel and servicing too).

But I'm just driving around in my 2015 honda civic I paid off in 2017. My transport costs are like $50 a month

You'd pay at least 500k for a house like this here.

I think it was the sugar episode when he says he found $1 while waiting for the bus and Marge says he could've made $50 by going in to work.

$50 a day much back then? Must've been early to mid 90s.

Even late 90's would turn that 50 into a 300. Divided by 8 hours makes 37,5 dollars an hour.

That's the thing everyone is missing, when duties were split, working 8-10 hours didn't matter much. Your stuff was clean, clothes washed, meal prepped etc. So you'd get home and relax. Now you either have to both work (at least you can split chores) or you're single and have to do all that on top of the more brutal schedule. This is all to drive consumption because tired people dont think, they impulse buy for comfort. They also don't revolt against the system. That's why make work jobs exist and no matter how much productivity we gain, your ass is at work 5 days a week for 40 hours. Oh btw remote work is canceled, get your ass to the office.

In the early 90s this was not considered a large house. This was pretty squarely lower middle class. In the early 90s a big house was 4500+ sq ft and cost 350k. A million dollar home was unironically a palace 8k sq ft elevators built in secret passage ways and stuff.

By moving to lower density areas. I live in the suburbs of a small city in the south (with a rapidly growing economy) and I bought my house for $250k in 2022. America will never run out of open land that can be developed so there will always be affordable houses somewhere. Can’t say the same thing for Europe since they’re already using 100% of their land.

Somehow all of the land upon Earth is now owned by private religious organizations and secret societies.
Satan owns all of the land upon the Earth.
