I didn't know anything about the term, just that I'm sick of hearing it repeated from people who have more than enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wertbag Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 My grandad was a builder back in the 40's. A new build house was £1200. My dad found his first paycheck back in the early 60's and he was paid a dollar an hour. My folks first home was $40k, an amount that blew my grandparents mind. My first job paid $21k and my first home was $550k. The jump for each generation is huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
