Well damn, you're right, I wasn't around during the 80's so I shouldn't speak about it. Well, I better go make an announcement to the world cancelling anything to do with history because none of us were around for most of it so who are we to talk about it? No more history lessons, no more museums, it all has to go since we weren't there to experience it ourselves.

By all means, if I'm wrong, explain it. People WERE getting on the property ladder easier than they do now because inflation wasn't as insane as it is now. a typical house costs in the 80's varied between 20k to around 50k for the most part while the average cost in today's world is over 200k (and that's the lower range). The median annual pay for 2020, btw, was 30k, while in the 80's it was 6k. You could save up every penny of a yearly wage in 2020 and it would still take you over six years to buy a house outright while you could do the same in the 80's and have enough for a house in three at the lower average ranges. Let's not even get into the fact that the cost of living in the 80's was much lower than it is now which made saving up a lot easier.

By all means, make out that you should ignore what I'm saying because I wasn't born in the 80's, it'll just look like you're running with your little tail between your legs.
