One story I like to tell involves buying our house in 1977 for $55,500. Only 35 years ago when there was a discussion in the media about the federal budget and expenditures it was at the most about billions of dollars. Now stories routinely talk about trillions of dollars. If that sort of event occurred with my house, I would currently list it to sell at $55,500,000. I keep thinking there is are really disastrous events coming in the future.

I paid...$65k for a house...3 years ago.

I'm thinking your analogy is really anecdotal...on where you bot, what you bot, and when you bot.

For what it's worth.....
