Not surprised to see that comment after your previous post about the TV sets. Let's see, the 600 pre-Carter inflation dollars you paid for that 1971 Zenith would be about
3,000 dollars in today's money. Today that amount of money will buy you a 40+ inch diagonal flat screen HD TV with a picture that is like looking out a window. I will never comprehend people who act like progress is a bad thing.

Forget the 21st century baubles and trinkets you have to distract you (and your children -- who'd be better off getting a classical education) and think about property as a fraction of your salary.
