That’s not income, it’s total household worth.
Hmmmm........it still comes out to about the same thing......
For one, mortgage interest rate (1980s and 90s) was over 15%....forcing early sale during recession just to get out from under it!! Salary was $8 to $12 per hour for women, and thats with a college degree. Like I said: we made it. Wasnt easy. My daughters began working at 16 (my first job was at 14). They worked throughout college and beyond. They basically paid for their own weddings (I gave what I could). And 2 are full time working Moms now, even with full time working husbands. So.....give me a break!!!!!!
