The home where Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin first set up shop is seen in Menlo Park, Calif., Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006. Internet search leader Google Inc. has added a landmark to its rapidly expanding empire, the Silicon Valley home where co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented a garage eight years ago as they set out to change the world. The Mountain View-based company bought the 1,900-square-foot home in nearby Menlo Park from one of its one employees, Susan Wojcicki, who agreed to lease her garage for $1,700 per month because she wanted some help paying the mortgage.

Holy crap. She needed $1700 per month 8 years ago just to help to pay her mortgage?!

My whole mortgage payment today is less than $1700 per month.
