You Know You Are Old When

The Ram truck you just bought cost more than either of the first two houses we bought.
My first house cost me $48500.
Bungalow, 1800 sqft 3 bedroom, 2 car large garage on a large lot.
I'm looking at the new Mazda CX-90.
Here in Kanukistan it runs $60k+, before taxes.

Given those 3 singers were dead by the late 90s (Bing - 1977, Dean - 1995, Frank - 1998) its no wonder.
Not necessarily - some kids that age have been raised with culture and are aware of these older types of music and movies because of the miracle of re-runs

Yikes!

Our current home taxes are around $600/year and our 20acres of farmland are around $800/year.
I should have specified, income taxes.

Our first house cost $20K in 1985. ;)
My first, and only house so far, a 1400 sq.ft. ranch with full basement, cost ~$32K in 1974, including the 3 acres of land. I am appalled at the prices of houses and land nowadays. My daughter and her husband built a house in FL a couple of years ago that was $600K. o_O

Long ago (70’s) my grandfather told me he paid $26 an acre for his 300 acre row crop farm. “Wow Pop, why didn’t you buy more?”
He replied, “That’s all the cash I had at the time”.
