The pizza in Home Alone was $12.25 a pie.
In 1990...10 years after 1980. Try to keep up.
Regardless, you realize you can look up what a major chain pizza cost in the 80's right? A 2 minute google search shows that pizzas were around 9-10 dollars for an extra large 1 or 2 topping pizza. You understand that right?

On the flipside, mortgage rates in 1980 were around 15-20%.

Every company has their own pricing. As a matter of fact, most dominoes and pizza huts were franchise and listed their own prices. Most national pizza commercials in the 80s didn't list prices because of the variances per area.
A small personal pan 1 topping pizza hut pizza was $5 in the 80s. That was a national campaign. Your 18 inch 3 toppings could get to $20 for dominoes in Georgia.
I remember when Little Caesars opened locally (1994ish). Their $9.99 two large one topping pizzas were a huge deal. They tasted like crap. But that was the beginning of the end for quality pizza from the big chains.

But that 45k house was probably 1400 sq ft 3 BR 1.5 BA. That house in today's dollars in 2900 sq ft 4 BR 3 BA.
Education is a legitimate gripe though. The inflation has been insane. Particularly since the feds started backing student loans.

No, you don't. I remember my Dad buying gas for a dollar a gallon for the first time, in the summer of 1979. We were on our way to a pipeline job where I was making, yes, seven bucks an hour.

My memory is off of 1980s (1985 if you want to peg a date) delivery pizza.

Yea the cheap places charged 6 or 7 bucks and the expensive places charged 8 or 9.
The point is, your dumbass claim that pizza has halved in price since the 80s is bunk and it's pathetic to try to argue otherwise. Basically proving the OP right.
Boomers make shite up, get shown clear evidence to the contrary and instead of recognizing that it's somehow possible that they were wrong about something, the go to move is to double and triple down. It's sad.

Yup. The house I grew up in was 4 bedroom 2 bath, just under 2k sqft with a decent sized yard. My mom and dad bought it in 1978 for $49k.

So you can give your kid a $5 personal pan pizza. Or your whole family a large 1 topping for $8. Thats not how it worked in the 80s.
Deliveries for a large pizza were often $15. That pizza today is $8. Where is the inflation index again?

...only to be mocked by a bunch of losers who just had to go to Rhodes instead of Memphis State, and now bitch about the bill ad nauseum (while wasting their money on fruity beer instead of getting their own houses).
Not a Boomer myself, BTW, just a guy who thinks blaming everything on one's elders (or women, or politicians, or any faceless "other" group that can't defend itself) just defines impotence and stupidity.

I purchased my first house in 1987. It was a all brick, 1600 sq ft ranch on two acres of land. We negotiated the price down to 47,000. One day before we locked into our loan, the interest rate dropped from 10.75% to 10.0% and we locked in. We celebrated that night because we got such a good interest rate
