re: Any OT'ers bought a home in the 1980's?

I started off at $3.10, and was making about $10/hour by 1985. Wife worked for the Parish, made about the same. We brought home around 2k a month.

Funny how times have changed. When my parents bought their first home around '94 or '95, they found a foreclosure in Acadia Parish for less than $30K. My dad was making like $9/hr. A year later, they bumped his pay to $18/hr when they found out he was a mechanic. We thought we were rich!
