My folks paid 19,000 for our first house in the late 60s, 4 bedroom 2 bath in the suburbs ;)
Difference back then and now is all had an equal chance for the most part....
(These boys here, grew up noting every toy is made in China)
What changed was greed and selfishness...'As long as I have, who cares'..
Now its screwed up to the breaking point...But no matter which way it breaks, these boys will meet it head on...One way or the other a new day will dawn. Then the next generation will...
