That doesn't make sense. What the minimum wage should be, and what you need to afford a house are two different things. If you are talking about what you need to buy a house, then $66 an hour would make that easy in a city, but if I recall, minimum wage adjusted for inflation would be around $35/hr. Homes prices have outpaced inflation.

They shouldn't be, the minimum wage should be the dollar amount required for a person to support themselves through a full-time job, otherwise what's the point? It's just an arbitrary number. Might as well have no minimum wage if it doesn't guarantee any quality of life.

A house is a bit much.

A purely idealized minimum wage should be enough to rent a small 1 room studio apartment, with a toilet, sink, shower, refrigerator and oven. It should be within walking distance of the place offering minimum wage, so that minimum wage doesn't also need to cover the cost of a car.
Enough so that the government shouldn't need to subsidize people making minimum wage, even if they don't make enough to be taxed. Because a Walmart employee getting food stamps is fucking retarded and a huge scam on Walmart's part against America.

I don't think that'll ever happen, but even that faux idealized pixiedust version shouldn't include an entire fucking house.

None of these things make life easier. They would make life easier if work expectations remained constant, but instead work expectations scale to negate the benefits of technology. If technology makes you twice as productive you don't work half as many hours, they just hire half as many people. Cars allow you to get to work faster but then car infrastructure leads to sprawl which means you now live even further away from work that pre-cars, meaning nothing has really changed. Etc, etc. Most technology comes with downsides that negate the advantages to the point where it actually makes life less convenient.

It's like how a lot of modern software feels slower than it did in the late 2000s despite massive advances in hardware. Better hardware just enabled lazier less optimized ad-ridden software resulting in a shitter experience for the user.

I don't think the younger generations realize how fucked we really are. We are in a massive crisis. This is what you can afford making 66/hr, 137k a year, with the most minimal amount of frugal spending on everything else (I haven't even factored in utilities).

Houses are somewhat of a red herring though. Relative to the price of gold houses are actually cheaper now than they were then. If workers were still being paid in gold, even at the 1970s minimum wage, the average house would be more affordable today. At today's minimum wage it would be even more affordable still. The root problem is that houses unofficially replaced gold as the "substance" behind all the financial abstractions, but you aren't being paid in houses.

Back when gold was the official substance behind the financial abstractions you were paid in gold and thus you were paid in substance. Now that houses are the unofficial substance behind the financial abstractions you aren't being paid in houses and so you aren't being paid in substance. This also creates the problem whereby house prices must always increase otherwise the informally house-backed financial system implodes, but if house prices always increase then the economic system is failing at its one-and-only purpose of making the things people need more affordable. This is a classic example of tight coupling, and illustrates precisely why tight coupling is considered evil in fields like software engineering etc. If you want to actually fix the problem you need to "refactor" the economy to eliminate this tight coupling.

$66/hr?
That's incorrect anon. In 1970, the US dollar was on the gold standard, so it is very easy to calculate the wage then vs now.
In 1970, the minimum wage was $1.60
In 1970, one ounce of gold was exactly $35, because of the gold standard.
The price of gold today is about $3385
https://www.kitco.com/charts/gold
Therefore, the minimum wage in 1970, in today's dollars is
(3385/35) * 1.60 = $154.74
That was the minimum wage in 1970. The lowest wage you could earn in the United States.

A house today is built out of cheap cardboard instead of bricks. Unlike gold, houses are not fungible commodities.
So of course houses are more "affordable" today compared to 1970. They're built out of garbage. 1970 minimum wage was $154/hr so naturally, the didn't want to buy a cardboard box house if brick was only 2-3x as expensive.

154.74 x 2080 (fulltime hours) = $321,859 (your yearly salary)

Current average US home price is around $550,000. So around 2 years full net income pays your house off (with expenses probably like 5 years).

1970 average US home price was $20,000. Minimum wage was $1.40/hr, fulltime salary $2,912. So more like 8 years to pay off your house without any expenses after taxes. Realistically around 20.

So no not really but still, minimum wage paying off a house is beautiful. You could actually achieve that with a 30 year mortgage, and that's the AVERAGE NATIONAL home price back then. Yes houses were more affordable. But your math is off, we would need about $40/hr minimum wage to equal the min wage of 1970. But the minimum wage is fucking $7.25 nationally and even in the most left of state only $16/hr and moving to $20/hr, still only half a survivable rate.

You've been a slave your whole life. Inflation is how kikes clip your coins without ever touching them, while simultaneously giving you a pay cut since wage increase always lag behind inflation.

Too many people and not enough homes. Simple as that. Renting is also expensive. A single landlord could own all the homes in the country and because there is too many people, he could charge whatever rent he wanted. Our β€œleaders” have flooded every single country in the first world with trash immigrants that will live a dozen or more to a house.

The gap between the rich and the middle/low classes gets bigger over time. They want us all to be poor insects living in small apartments. Nowadays, at least here in Finland, you cannot become rich by working a job, you have to be an entrerpreneur, the income taxes are too high to become rich otherwise. Also the rich circumvent taxes all the time, shifting money between their companies and avoiding over-taxing by all means.

Wage Index isn't equivalent value. People keep getting sold these retarded metrics about equivalent pay relative to other Americans, because average wages are tanking. Or equivalent standard of living, which robs you of GDP growth, and gets winnowed down to the bone by increasingly gay rules every year.

If you're going to define inflation as cost increase, which is retarded but I'll work with it, you have to demand equal material purchasing power.

>Even if you never rented in your life, you were forced to pay for kikes to build their apartments and other investments against your will
solution is rather simple:
- do not save money in the bank
- invest in real estate (group buy land) because it hedges against inflation
- only work if you need money
- don't get a mortgage
- learn how to build your own house (save money and taxes twice)
- buy your food in bulk directly from farmers

The idea is to use money as little as you can. The longer you hold on to money, the more wealth you lose. So the trick is to earn money only when you need to make a purchase and then immediately make the purchase.

You want to transfer the money that earn into real estate that you own as fast as possible.

You start by buying land. You put your trailer on it. You work some more until you have enough saved to build the foundation for the house. Then you work some more and complete the next phase of the build and so on and so forth....

That's how it's done. Bonus points if you can find like minded individuals/families and build a multifamily unit together; you'll save even more.

Don't whine about the economy because you just waste time. Figure out solutions to the problems and start dreaming and find people who dream the same thing and make it happen.

While most Mexicans and some pajeets do work hard, you really can't compare the two. Picking food crops is hard and sometimes back breaking work and is usually done by Mexicans because Americans normally don't want to do those agricultural jobs. Being a food handler at a fast food restaurant is a whole lot more easy but those jobs are being taken by foreign pajeets putting actual Canadian citizens out of jobs. Computer tech jobs are difficult but not the physical difficulty of agricultural jobs and there are many Americans willing to do those tech jobs. But pajeets take those tech jobs because they work for smaller salaries. This is why tech CEOs like Elon Musk (originally from South Africa and is larpi,g as an American) prefer foreign Pajeets over Americans.
