1. My parents first house cost $13k in 1960.

Edited on Mon Mar-21-11 02:20 PM by Matariki

My house, which is actually very comparable in size, style and year built, cost me $315k.

That is 25 times the price for pretty much the same house. I can tell you for a fact that I'm not making 25 times what my dad did in 1960.
