when we lived in SAn Diego we had a small 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath house that sold for clsoe to 200k in '98. We got our new house in NH for I think around 70-80k and now with the work we put in + prices rising etc its gotta be worth at least 200K

what orifice did you pull that out of? I believe Arkan said:

"I really feel sorry for younger people just starting out. Houses in my town start at $500k. How do people afford to buy it, then have to pay crazy taxes and pay to heat it? Fuckin' unbelievable!! "

Lol i just realized that there are these town houses/lofts that are going for 800k-1mil but the biggest is only 2600 sq ft for 1 mil. my house is around 3000sq ft and it probly costs 900k.

The majority of older people believe their world was harder.

I wish when I was 20 I could afford a car easilly...like every highschool kid in the 70s.

But we don't live in prosperity like the baby boomers.

Thats the 2nd thing troubling me. I sat down with the Vice President of the dealership i'm doing business with and he doesn't know how many cars he's getting. The owner ofthe dealership is slated to get the 1st car. There are 2 other people behind him, then it's me. That dealership needs to get 4 cars in order for me to get one. I'm having lunch with him soon and i may want to bow out of the '07 race and be #1 for the '08. They're only doing a 2 year run of this car and i want to be sure i don't miss the boat. I'm thinking if they can guarantee me #1 for the 2008, i'll go for that. As far as price, i already have "MSRP" in writing on my "Pre-Order" from last April.

just for the record. each generation has its good and bad. I dont think you have it worse than my generation nor mine than yours. (as a whole, there are exceptions to everything)

Average home around here costs $400K. Max, I think, is like $5M

When you get your first house, you've got to stretch a little. I only wish my wife and I bought something a little more expensive when we got our first house, but we weren't all that comfortable with a big chunk of our paychecks going toward a mortgage. As it turns out, we bought a townhouse and sold it 2.5 years later and turned a $140K profit. That's the only way we can afford to live in the house we do now. The sad part is we probably could have gotten my current house for about $200K cheaper if we had sucked it up in the beginning.
