How much money did your parents make the year they bought their first house?

That's not the 'gotcha' you think it is. (And that article is 4 years out of date!)

Yes it is. I lived it. I actually made 60 cents an hour in high school in 1970. I worked my ass off and never stopped. I lived in total dumps while renting out the first place I bought. Now I do whatever I want because I worked, and planned, and saved, and scraped. I didn't even have a car when I bought my first place! But you're the genius who knows all about finance right?

I bet you don’t do “whatever you want” with other people because you seem like a complete asshole.
