“Remember news and articles” isn’t Math.

The fact there was inflation and high rates does not equate the two situations.
Compare total cost of living v wages then and now. It’s not even remotely close.

Everyone I knew in high school and college was worried how they were going to afford a home. Prices and interest rates were sky high and wages were low and jobs were few.

Have to admit: the media did a good job scaring the crap out of people back then, but then Reagan took office...
