Not to be picky and agree with your post, think was talking seasons or years the show was on
I thought that might have been what you meant.
There is always the route of going to the military after HS graduation, bank a few years, get out and purchase a home with VA loans and savings. Go to CC, get a two year degree and take mandatory classes towards a 4 year University degree, then on to University, while working part time. Every male I know did exactly that. I was the only one who screwed up, but I still ended up purchasing homes 5 times. Buy cheap, fixit up, sell it and move up to a better place. I went to work everyday, came home and worked on the place. Rented backhoes, put in gardens, garages etc. I went from a $13K POS place, to selling the last one for double what I paid. Bought another with the profit, and so on. IT IS CALLED WORK, and MARRIAGE.
Gerald Ford, Whip Inflation Now times were a bit dark.
My first house had a rate of 15%. My last mortgage was 5.5% My mortgage now is -0-. It came so easy, only 45 years.
1988 I was paying 10.75% 30 year Note
I bought house at 70K and now goes for 500K
The Boomers will leave most of their wealth to their heirs. It doesn’t die with them, much.
No jobs here.
It was hard.
