considerly lower than today's home prices. but pay scales were too.



I mean, a new car was something like $20k in '81. Which was pretty frickin ridiculous. Especially, considering how shitty they were. That being said, we didn't buy new cars.

I mean, most things were somewhat high, but you didn't replace them constantly. Like I remember buying a nice console TV (27") for $750. It was a lot, but it would outlast most appliances today. Same for everything.

What kind of vehicle?

Parent’s Z28 in early 80s cost half that

My Pawpaw’s Silverado Z71 cost 22 grand in 1993
