Yes Rusticgals worked it out and wages are for some at 1984 levels I would wager house prices have quadrupled plus since then, more the further south you go.
Whether it was his personal circs or someone else it doesn't matter the fact is you scoffed at the concept of it taking some people 100yrs to save for a home of their own, my feeling is they wouldn't be far wrong.

Nobody asked you to solve the housing crisis have they, as you say everyones reality is different. You were the one harking to the old days Cherie, inferring people could afford a home as they lived with parents and saved :/
Why are you bringing Asians up... What tangent are we flying off on now?
