My mom believes they could live comfortably today on $40k a year, because that's what my dad made in the mid-70's.
They probably bought their house for $50/sqft as well. When that same house is easily $100/sqft today.

It is 100/sq ft today, but in the early 80's I made 21k as a Registered Nurse right out of school and bought a 48k piece of shite house right off of Essen with furniture that was pieced together from family, with no maid and no yard guy... Problem is that same Nursing degree today, making 50k+ overtime right out of college, wants the same house Mom and Dad have, a new car with all options, new furniture, top of the line cellphone, all cable channels, a 4 dollar latte on the way to work every day, $30.00 worth of sushi every night, a Bahamas trip every year and somebody to cut her grass.....that's the real problem...
