People could afford homes. Dad worked and Mom stayed home...what a difference.
My mom was a bank teller at the time making 75 bucks a week. Divorced, but could pay her mortgage and electric with 1 week's salary.
She was a drunkard and had a very bad taste in men. She lost this home and another she bought in 1970 which was 70 bucks a month.
I lived more than 50 places by the time I was 18,
It isn't nature or nurture, it's nature and nurture. I paid my first home off in 16 years, then went condo and only had a mortgage on that house. The 3 condos I lived in were all low end, but I paid cash. Now I'm a renter after selling out and building a home abroad.
So mom's financial difficulties made me just the opposite.
Bless you fren. I'm sorry your growing up was difficult but grateful you are stronger for it. 🙏🤍
On the nature side of the equation, I love to sing. That comes from my DNA on my father's side. He was a very very bad person, but apparently was a great singer. They divorced when I was 4 and he came to visit with his new wife and baby when I was 6, in the house above. I don't remember him as a child.
I'll never be a great singer, I started singing as a senior hobby, but I sing Karaoke in Nashville and can get the crowd dancing or waving their cellphones sometime. Long term plan is to live winters in the Philippines and sing even if I don't make money at it. The young people have internet now and like young people music, but their old geezer husbands or boyfriends might appreciate old rock and roll and country. I sing some newer country like Kane Brown, and Luke Combs as well.
Good on you! Keep singing and enjoying life!

People manage circumstances in one of two ways...
...some allow themselves to be beaten down by them.
Others, chose to use the circumstance as a springboard to achieve life's goals.
...I have a good idea of what your decision was...
...carry on Patriot...
Yeah, thanks, most people that had my Charles Dickens' character childhood turned libtard. Even though I don't go to Church these days, God has saved me from many circumstances.
It's not the valuation of the property as most believe. It's the de-valuation of the dollar that has basically destroyed our economy. The buying power of $100 of 1913 is equal to $3.00 today. This is what the privately owned Federal Reserve has done for America.......
I pray that I live long enough to see the Fed Reserve and IRS gone.
Somehow I get the impression that these globalists worked overtime to make sure people don't have affordable homes! If anything should be like an essential human right is affordable prices to building material! That is like 'priority number one', people having a roof over their heads! Spending monies on any other project like what we are seeing from DOGE's audit of USAID, leads me to the conclusion that poverty in this world has to be by design!
In the Philippines you can have a house built out of bamboo delivered on your land for a few thousand dollars... Of coarse it won't be luxury heh.
I researched shipping container homes and they can be inexpensive as well depending on where in the world you live and how much they charge for used containers.
There are also a lot of prefab structures similar to shipping containers. Think of Elon's prefab.
My mom's 900 Sq ft house was considered middle classed, now a new middle class home is far larger and 100X more expensive.
Sold For 350K Last Oct. Now 1,150 Sq Ft, a half bath and bedroom added...Taxes were over 4,000 Last year.
Let’s take a 1975 house.
Sold for $25,000
In 2025 appraised at $200,000
Money has tended to halve in value about every 7-10 years. In some ways it’s a bargain that such a house isn’t going for $800,000.
Of course it’s 50 years old, used, and prices will be affected by the location.
Some of the real tricks are going to be
...this should not be happening in America...
If they actually do throw out all the illegals, and I'm sure it is well over 30 million, then real estate prices and rents will plummet.
Blackrock will be screwed.

Haa haa ha, that's great! I love the dog meme with Big Mike that's been floating around as well.
Agreed. I blamed the illegals for the situations “US” Americans are going through, if it was not for them we will be in a more good situation. salaries will be increased, food less expensive and so on. Also, China has something to do with it.
I have learned to hate China.
Don’t hate them because God doesn’t like it. Isaiah 58. https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading They will have their reward, like God says. We know they are evil disciples we don’t want to be like them. We have to pray for them. God bless you. https://www.openbible.info/topics/for_they_have_their_reward
People don't realize that the 30-40 million that came are not all undocumented. Our government was handing out green cards to the majority of them. We now have 3rd generation Dominicians here. The grandparents are still green card holders. They never had any intention of becoming an American. Their children and grandchildren grew up getting food stamps and Medicaid and believe that they are entitled to to it no matter what.
About 10% of the Filipinos here are illegals. I brought my wife here legally though, and what a pain in the butt it was.
Now it's worth $300,000 and her property taxes are double each month what her mortgage was initially and her property tax payments will continue in perpetuity! Nothing will save our country until the FED is abolished and the IRS gone and there's no more property tax thievery...one CANNOT be free unless one can own property!
That 50 bucks back then equates to at least 4500 today.
and 300 down to around 270000 down.
fed inflation, it got fat
Not just Blackrock. Bernanke's baseless 2% inflation target.
Goal of 2% compounded... sucks
Blackrock? Not quite but you're getting warmer. Keep digging.
Due to hoaxvid, 7T was conjured out of thin air.
And this started in mid-2020 by the way (who was president then?).
And went totally bananas in the pedo years.
Where did that 7T fake money end up into?
Housing prices.
It's not just Blackrock, even though they are in the forefront.
