Not even close. Cut that in half an place it in a neighborhood where the average household income was around 50k and that would have been middle class. These nigga's were balling even back then.

Probably not. Even in crummy second-tier cities like St. Louis or Kansas City, as house like that would probably cost over a million dollars.

Lol. Let me give you an example.

My wife and combined make 100k a year. We have one child. We live in the suburbs outside Atlanta. We live in a 200k home and it is a fucking piece of shit. Vinyl siding. Cheap floors. 3bed 2 bath. Cheap walls cheap fixtures. No stone or brick anywhere. The house in that photo would be 600k to 700k here. You would need a family income of 150k+ to get into a house like that.

The crash is coming boys hope you got your googles and medical scrubs ready cause it's gonna be a bloodbath this time.

Lol in NY that apartment would be $4500 a month

>what is a home

the value of money goes down every year whereas the population is always increasing. the supply remains constant or decreases while the demand always grows. land is the best investment always

If you're standing on a goldmine you don't get to complain about money problems.

>if housing prices don't go up, how will I retire?

Houses are not inherently an investment. The difficulty is that people are able to take out loans so the price can keep going up and up. Financing is the worst thing to happen for the middle class. Don't have a nice care? Oh well you can make this small monthly payment or better yet LEASE the car for ZERO equity. Want a to be just qualified to apply to a job? Get this degree that costs twenty grand a year but isn't nearly worth that. Make sure to spend more money in a dorm that has less amenities than an studio apartment for double the price! Now you can buy a house for an exhorbant amount of money while we fuck you with interest! Hahaaha

Money is ultra cheap right now with interest rates having been suppressed for over decade. Combine this with almost continually printing of money at unheard of levels and you have a ton of money for people to finance just about anything. This has created risk-prone lending again where people are being offered way more money than is reasonable for them to pay back for the maturity of the loan. I make 65k a year and I shit you not I had a mortgage lender offer me just shy of half a million for a house; there is no fucking way I could afford that, shit I could barely afford half that. The end result of a massive asset bubble that goes well beyond housing. Like everything else the government touches, this will end very badly at some point. Every day I see the fed, the government and our media trying everything they can to keep the bubble from popping, but it will happen eventually and when it does it's going to make 2008 look like the good ol' days.

>I built my own house on 6 acres and I know what I'm talking about

Even base materials, if you sub out the electric and plumbing (because if you are building a decent sized house....you should sub those things out unless you really know wtf you're doing)...you're looking around at least 90-100/sq. foot to build it.

We built our house for 84/sq foot. I designed it and I was my own general contractor. Normally an architect will be 10ish% of the final home value and a contractor will be anywhere from 10-15%. So 25% of your home (If you choose to build) will be just designing it and having someone manage your subs.

Most contractors, if you cold call them, will quote you 140-150/sq foot to build.

Now, purchasing a home can definitely be cheaper per sq. foot. But even then, you're probably looking at close to 100/sq foot for a decent neighborhood.

That house is probably....3500-4000 sq feet and a third of an acre. So nominally, that house would sell for half a mill in a pretty bad neighborhood....all the way up to a couple of mill depending on final finishes within it (and the quality of neighborhood). IIRC, it wasn't really even the nicest house on the block so probably a million dollar home.

TL/DR, build your own fucking home.

I graduated from college a year after the last one and I did alright, and that's just with a BA. You'kk be more than fine with a doctorate most likely.

Most likely. Research has usually shown that the "PhD working at Starbucks" phenomenon is extremely rare.
But I have heard some real horror stories from people who weathered the '08 crash.

The McCallister live in one of the richest neighborhoods in Chicagoland. That is why Marv and Harry were so excited to rob all its houses. Where did the movie imply the family was middle class?

what's the story here?

/biz/ bought high.

Bitcoin is an reasonable asymmetrical bet. Just don't buy shitcoins peddled on /biz/

Yeah they were never said to be middle class. Why the fuck would two professional burglars go to middle class neighborhoods? Middle class families have never vacationed in Paris.
They were clearly supposed to be upper middle class or upper class.

Maybe I was lucky, but I didn't even know it was happening until much later. It's possible that I was just very immersed in school at the time and didn't notice how much shit was going on, but I honestly couldn't distinguish 2007 from 2008 or 2009 desu. I'm not a richfag either; my mom's lower middle class and always has been and my dad is a drunk.

A bubble crashing happened.

God all I wanted to do was escape fucking white trash rural Texas. If there is a crash and it actually fucks me I'm just going to become a drunk and call it a day.

To think back when /biz/ was announced I thought it was a good idea. Few months later and it's all fucking crypto. Should make a /cry/ board for these faggots.

i-is this the comfy underachieving neet thread?

I make about 60k a year in a rocky mountains state so shit is pretty cheap here. I use Capital One's auto navigator app that shows you exactly how much money they're willing to lend you and at what APR without a hard credit check like everyone else so I use it to gauge myself ocassionally. This week they approved me for up to 85k on any vehicle I want that's 10 years old or younger. The payments on that would be insane.

If you're going to invest, there's far better options than internet play money.

Wish i had that house

Had you bought 20k of bitcoin in 2013 it'd be worth a little over 300k right now, and this is post crash. If you had sold it near the high it had it was worth 480k.

Doesn’t the fact that it was used in filming a movie increase the value of the house?

In a brand new neighborhood by my house, where the houses are still being built, the houses are massive and they’re smart houses and it’s a “green neighborhood” where they use solar panels as a source for the majority of their power, the houses are going for around 2 million

Great in your 20's with no health problems, but older you get the worse it becomes. I live in a house that's around £1m but it is nowhere as big as yours, but it is in a tree lined street near town.

Property 20 something km out from CBD is easily USD800k. Might've been dropping recently but Maybe you're looking in the wrong suburbs.

That house looks surprising small when you actually go to see it.

are there houses like that that close to SYD cbd tho?

thats western subs tier at least

Near Hanchurch, just outside of Stoke-on-Trent, so yeah property prices are lower than the National average but if you look on the maps it's well within 15/20 minutes from the city centre and the Hospital. But most importantly of all, it's close to the Bet365 so I can go and watch SCFC lose.

Houses like that obviously exist in North Sydney but the prices are exorbitant.

I grew up in a neighborhood filled with houses like that, was middle class for sure

Nah

Ah right I'm in Oxfordshire. We're basically London in terms of prices. But you're lucky if you grabbed that house for that much, when did you do it? Must have been 30~ years ago. I'd love to own a place like yours, but only if it was nearish to towns/hospitals and shit. But they won't be selling for £150k that's for sure.

yes, but smaller. that is a pretty big house (5000 square feet, at least). 300-400k could get you something like 3k-3.5k square feet with a nice yard in a lot of suburbs. would probably still have 90s finishes though.

They can afford something like that in some middle of nowhere place but not anywhere near a city.

Which state has the least price gouging in its housing market? I want a house someday lads.

Do burgers get money for having kids such as in socialist European nations?

>still on Yea Forums
was it worth it?

No you didn't

You get money back in taxes, so yes.

If the couple is debt-free? Yes.
If not? No.
Most people have debt. Many have more than what they're worth.
Also, normal people have children. Mom not working (at least full-time) or paying more for childcare takes a bite out of the budget

>tfw dad brings 300$ a month
feels fun to be third world

I'm 42, married for 18 years and have raised two successful kids. I know it's weird for this site but I'm a winner in real life (maybe I'm a loser at Yea Forums memes though).

You have the internet. I had no background in construction, I'm in tech. I can definitely tell you're talking out your ass when you say "average joe will rather have a quarter more sunk costs than risk buliding". You can build for literally 50% of what a contractor will quote you if you don't mind working. "Save a couple thousand bucks". You a fucking child? lol

Completely idiot sounds like. I knew a guy that built his own computer and fired his processor, I guess no one should build their own computers and buy Dell.

Idiots abound (I would think coming to Yea Forums you would realize that)

Aren't most boomer / gen x parents now retired? Well, at least mine are (they both retired in their early 50s, earlier this decade.)

>My brother paid $6k a month for an apartment of about that size in DC.

I live in DC, you faggot. Show me where he lived. Can't even imagine what $6k gets you in DC... Fuck, that would be, like, a 5 bedroom condo in Georgetown, right by the waterfront, or something. Fuck you.

underrated

Was it really this comfy in the 90s? Aussie here my life was hell so poor remember my folks having to get given everything we owned

>Went to working on the road welding at 19
>tfw when I just turned 23 and make $110k a year after taxes

Someone post the $122.50 empty box pasta.

I was born in 90 but yeah it wasn't all rosey like merricunts think
Pretty sure they where the only country doing OK at that time

90s was the last of the comfy times.
The effects of George HW Bushes 1990 Immigration Act (which rolled out the red carpet for illegals) and Bill Clinton's 1992 NAFTA (which sent jobs overseas) didn't occur until the late 2000s.

>I was born in 90
Holy fuck you think you got the full 90s effect between the ages of 1 and 9?

>42yo with 2 kids on Yea Forums
Based schizo larper

Basically yeah Australia was extremely backwards at the time and since I grew up with older parents with older friends who where basically stuck in the 80s when they retired I lived the 90s well into the mid 00s
Yeah I watch a tonne of 90s shit still and yeah it looked fantastic

Australia at the time was a fucking wasteland just been through multiple economic slumps

Jesus I take in almost 2k from being a mcwagie a month
Feels bad man

In the deepest, darkest, most decrepit and nigger filled part of Detroit, that housr would still cost 1 million minimum.

idk but then again how the fuck do you even make 60k a year without debt

California

Day of the pillow when?

yeah but you have to deal with dumbass customers and i heard you guys have loan problems

>my father is a holocaust survivor
Except holocaust wasn't real.

Triggered, much?

I make 1k a week as a line cook but i work 65 hours a week. The gross is like 54.6 a year.

The McCallisters were upper middle class. The mom and dad were raised middle class, but moved up, hence why they don't know how to tip, and why the uncle was so cheap. That home is an upper middle class home, and them being upper middle class also explains why they can afford to go on trips abroad for Christmas and also buy tons of presents.

>Alaska
holy shit, Malcom in the Middle was right

If you became a millionaire right away would you just not continue to shitpost?

A fucking kike living off lawyer daddys money, renting a closet for $700 a week to write a book about the Holocaust. These are the people telling you youre privileged

Easy way to fix this:

Import low-wage workers to increase the pool of poverty and welfare.

That should bring salaries up for 'em.

>these are the people calling you europoors

based globalisation making zoomers seeth

there's no way a house like that would ever be worth less than a million
middle class people dont spend a million bucks on a house (even if they have them for some reason)

how the fuck does she have sex in that bed?

In america everyone is middle class apparently

they also think 5 people living together can be friends for 10 years.

It was a penthouse overlooking the Navy Yard. Let me see if I can find it listed

WINNETKA ILLINOIS IS ONE OF THE TOP 10 RICHEST COUNTIES IN AMERICA.

IT IS WHERE ALL THE RICH JEWS AND MASONS IN CHICAGO LIVE.

OK?

99.999% OF PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THAT SHIT.

That's about right. My aunt and uncle are middle class and they live in a similar style and size house. Hell, they even have a large beach home.

Your parents retired in their 50s, you’ll be lucky to retire before 70. Enjoy paying their ss for the next 40 years pal

labeling things rights doesn't suddenly make them immune to scarcity or basic economic principles, mr. gender studies tranny

Hey, we think you have what it takes, want a job with the democrats/republicans? Pick one, it literally doesn’t matter

Is there anything more to say about the holohoaxcaust anymore?

Great thread. I had no idea a postman in a second grade european country is living a better life than majority of americans, lmao. Feels good.

in the 90's you could be unemployed and still be able to afford paying rent for an apartment in uptown Manhattan

I just moved from SF to Oakland, and dman what a fucking difference.If you can do it, a few hours added to your commute is well worth the rent you save living out of the city.

user's on it. The finance jew, backed by the gubmint's guarantee that any slob can have access to loans, has made prices for the two pillars of the middle class (education and housing) spiral completely out of control. Sadly our media and politicians are too dumbed down to actually address these problems, and instead they talk about retarded fantasy proposals like "free shit for everyone". I'm a bit lucky in that I have a decent paying job and have had the opportunity to stay at home and save for some years, but the prospect of buying some house with a massively inflated price seems just a tad goyish. Housing prices have spiraled absolutely out of control ever since the federal government implemented first time homeowner financing.

Nope

Yes same. Prpbably inherited from his pedo relatives in the british nobility
