In 1982 we bought our first home, a mobile home. Paid $14k for it. My cars cost at least double that now. I hear you.

In 1966 I was told I could buy a 110 acre farm with an old house that I consider priceless, it is still standing and is occupied now. The original construction is square hewn log timbers, dovetailed at the corners, that is covered by wooden lap board siding. The owner, a very close friend of my family, said that someone had tried to buy the place for five thousand dollars and he told him no but he would take a hundred dollars an acre, that would have been eleven thousand dollars. I would guess that fifty thousand or more in timber has been sold from it since then and his son still owns it. I don’t think you could buy it for any price now.
