How did Hank and Marie afford such a nice house?

>>213647901 (OP)
That's a basic bitch house in ABQ.

Cops can make pretty good money plus they saved on a ton on household goods with all of Marie’s shoplifting. Plus New Mexico is a fucking shithole so it’s probably not that expensive

Why didn't they have kids, just use ivf

It's a Mc. Mansion in the middle of the desert.

>>213647951
>Mc. Mansion
This term is meaningless

>>213647901 (OP)
being a welfare queen fed gov employee is surprisingly lucrative

They had no kids since Hank only shot with blanks and had to overcompensate for it

>>213648013
To the underclass, a ranch house and a McMansion are the same thing.

>>213647941
He's not even a cop, he's a Fed. OP thinks people with fucking federal law enforcement careers are poor for some reason.
And in top of that, they didn't even have kids, they must've been rolling in cash.

Their son was a successful sports writer for Newsday.

Dork

feds make a living wage. local cops do pretty well too with unions and side gigs.

she was a little cray

The original ending of Breaking Bad involved the Neo-Nazis killing Hank, Steve and Jesse in To'hajiilee and then Walter going home free with nobody knowing about his Meth dealings but the Nazis

I think that would have been better than severa episodes fixing supposed plot holes.

>>213647901 (OP)
he was a top DEA man and she was a radiologist

It's in suburban New Mexico in the year 2008, probably purchased in the 90s for 250k tops. All you needed was 30k or so in down payment, the cost of a car.

>>213647901 (OP)
Yeah, I,m guessing New Mexico is pretty cheap. Show makes it seem like a barren shithole with loads of space. Hank's worked for the force for all of his life, so he probably earned pretty well. Mary probably became a kleptomaniac lut of boredom. Seriously.

It’s one of the poorer states in the country

It would have disrupted the shows dynamic.
Only the Whites were allowed to have a full family. In the the others either a parent or child was dead or outcast.

>Hank was almost certainly a GS13 Special Agent as journey level 1811s are typically GS-13s. Supervisors are usually 14s and above. Federal law enforcement officers also get a 25% pay increase called Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP).
>This site (https://www.federalpay.org/gs/calculator) has data back to 2007. Hank was a 13, likely at least a step 6 or 7 based on years of service. A 13/step 7 in 2007 in Bernanillo county made $90,498.36 / year. Add on 25% and you get about $113,000 per year.

That's even cheaper than I thought
You cannot suffer in the United States of America

Its Albuquerque

There's so much crime there that houses like that go for 200-300k. Before Covid it was far cheaper

>>213647901 (OP)
What’s the location on maps?

>>213648524
Radiographer. A radiologist is a doctor specialised in xrays. She's the technician who takes the images.

They were lower middle class

>>213647901 (OP)
It doesn't look very appealing from the outside. It's very concretey.

>>213649209
It looks like the floorplan is pretty large and they have a sand rail / 4wheeler garage off the (probably) finished basement as well.

>>213647901 (OP)
nice house? that looks worse than the commieblock i live in lol

>>213648013
It's a great description of shitty oversized tract houses in suburban america from the 1980s and onward.

>I have no land and I must seethe

>>213649818
I have land and a comfy sized 1100 sq feet house that is not 10 feet from the neareast neighbor's house, thank you very much, but keep projecting because you're triggered by the fairly innocuous term "McMansion" which correctly describes oversized suburban tract homes to be what they are.
As a "landowning" LARPer I don't see how the fuck you can defend the shitty ass 3000 square foot monstrosities that are 10 feet next to their neighbors with trashy ass fake yards you can't garden and throw a football across at the same time. You're worthless and pathetic and the fact you multipost to worthlessly project just shows it.

>>213650152
>1100 sq ft house
lmaoing at your life

Oh and the worst part of these fucking 3000 sq foot McMansions with more bathrooms than bedrooms is the fact that most of these shitty places don't even have real families anymore, and the rooms are just full of shitty consumerist junk.

>>213647930
no its not. Its in the scottsdale hills it looks like

a large single floor plan is a premium.

Houses used to be cheap as fuck in the desert. Every house on my street has tripled in value over the past five years.

Dont let em fool you. Feds (FBI, DEA, ATF) make serious bank, even the low level squatters

DEA agents steal cash from the drug dealers when they do their raids on their houses.

>>213647901 (OP)
In America DEA agents and other law enforcement can make commission on seized money and assets.

>>213647948
Marie was barren it's part of the reason she was so crazy.

Marie stole it

>fake yards you can't garden and throw a football across at the same time

>>213648013
It used to mean when someone buys a property and then tears down the house to build a new one that takes up almost the entire area so you have like 2' of yard in any direction.

Walt should have hidden the money in Hank's house.

>>213650368
Was watching breaking bad with my gf recently and I havent seen it since it aired. Back then I thought Marie was like you know, "old" or a parent. But holy shit I see her now and shes pretty good looking.

>>213647901 (OP)
They forced Walt to make meth and sold it.

>>213650416
You got it the wrong way around. Hank was shooting blanks which makes him a bigger fag since he didnt spend his free time busting nuts in his wife.

>>213648013
>>Mc. Mansion
It’s when people buy a cookie cutter house that is bigger than they need and more than they can afford

>>213650444
trips checked, but no McMansion refers to the suburban neighborhoods built quickly by one company. All the homes look alike, are the same grey color, and have relatively the same layout with the same features/amenities, they are all built down to a price as opposed to built to suit the owner. what you described is just an eyesore or someone with bad taste.

>>213650568
I could be wrong but I first heard it used like 25 years ago in the way I described it. They were absolute eyesores you would see house after house looking regular and then there was this one monstrosity trying to minmax the space available. Probably a similar concept but nobody cares about suburbs.

Pic related is on the way to my aunt and uncle's house. on the left is the subdivision built in the 80's and on the right is the part cleared for the new builders you can see the few homes already constructed are extremely similar compared to the houses on the left.

>>213647901 (OP)
I bet the Schrader's would look at handicapped Walt Junior and Walt working 2 jobs to make ends meet and feel relief they never had kids. They were easily clearing $150,000,000 and never had to worry about bills or childcare.
