The bootstrap factory was sold to China

in 1985, one person was working full time to get that median household income
in 2022, 2 people are working full time to make that median household income
so the price of a house in 1985 was a little less than 3 years of one man's labor
the price of a house in 2022 is a little more than 5 years of 2 people's labor, or 11 years of one man's labor

It's crazy since a motivated man with a book and a few hand tools can build a modest house by himself in 2 years or less.

>>509845553
You’re a moron, I’ve built many houses working with my dad. You could build a shack. How would you even pour the foundation?

>>509846291
>foundation
anon, a house doesn't need a concrete foundation in order to be a house

>>509846291
>how would you install the elevator or operate the crane by yourself?
Yeah it would be a modest house, not a McMansion.

women did this by entering the workforce

>>509845290
>implying people are in relationships

>>509846291
Just make a log cabin. The trick is trying to make it maggot proof.

boomers will see this and genuinely say "we were making 23k, you are making 74k, you are having it over 3x better than us!"

Now let's look at the average income for JUST millennials, many of whom are unemployed and/or welfare leeches.

>>509843701 (OP)
OP chart shows that it's modestly harder. It also excludes any impact of interest rates, which is an exceptionally low quality, partial analysis.

>>509847917
you're using 11 year old data for an age cohort that has since entered the early portion of peak earning years.

Don't buy a house in the middle of a overpriced gentrified area.
Dont compare Beverly hills to the backwoods

>>509848060
Also +30 million illegals, inflation, devaluation of the dollar, higher unemployment and 2x housing prices. Surely it is even worse now.

>>509848162
do you know what "median" means?

>>509848268
>pretending that inflation & devaluation of the dollar are two different things
>not realizing that this actually makes wages higher

And mass immigration. And NIMBYism.

>>509845553
that's what my brother did
>>509847725
>social isolation is normal
true, a social life is too expensive for most people which reduces reproduction rates

>>509848295
Do you know what a complaint is?
Theres lots of overpriced housing out there. The median isn't an accurate measurement of the type of housing that people should be looking at.

>>509845553
Yes books make an excellent substitute for sheet rock.

>>509843701 (OP)
where the fuck are all these 75K a year jobs at?

>>509848060
>11 year old data
Anon I hate to tell you, but 2014 was 21 years ago.

>>509848978
so you're saying that "don't compare beverly hills to the backwoods" was a complete non sequitur? Because that should very obviously not have been what you took from the OP image.

>>509847596
So, your solution to the problem is building favelas everywhere.

>>509849551
idk ask chat gpt

>>509848162
Not really a choice if you want to have a job. You have to live where the jobs are. Most jobs won't let you do full time remote.

so,when do the young release they are being brutally raped into eternal slavery by pedophile demon worshipping elites...and that the only way out is making the streets run like red rivers?

>>509849755
I think there's a world in which people can make things that aren't shit but are also modest. I'm sure it's possible, because people in the USA used to do that.

>>509849551
That’s household. Multiple people. The individual number for the US is around 40k iirc.

>>509847915
>stop buying avocado toast
>cancel your netflix
>sell your iphone and get a landline

I sometimes wonder if boomers really are that dumb and out of touch. Or if they just say that to shit on people when they are knowingly keeping home prices at ridiculously levels, as most of their net worth is tied to their house.
