Was it really possible in the 80s/90s for a mid 30s married man with 3 kids, 2 pets, no superior education and a bad job to have a house this big and 2 cars?

Was it really possible in the 90s/00s for an early 40s married man with 3 kids, a pet, no superior education and a bad job to have a house this big and 2 cars?
Nathan Reed
But the car was made in Guatemala!
Mason Butler
If you didn't get your life sorted out by your 40s, you can give up on life.
Anthony Rodriguez
Yes. Those people are still living in those homes today with all that. The kids just moved out and into rented accommodation and are simply waiting for inheritance whilst hoping taxation doesn't make it so they can't afford a house at least half as big in a shitty neighbourhood.
Cameron Morgan
It's a pretty small home considering he is a top senior engineer at a nuclear power plant, an astronaut and owner of american soccer team.
Matthew Cooper
He was able to live off of the pay he got at the bowling alley until Maggie was born.
Oliver Stewart
Yes and for most of post-war US history honestly. Housing prices were incredibly stable relative to average income until the mid-00s when things got way out of control. Historically when housing prices started to get like that they'd return to the mean, but for some reason they're even worse now than at the late 00s peak. There's a more complete graph of image related somewhere going all the way back to 1945 but I can't find it right now, overall the trend was pretty much flat until that enormous fucking spike you see on this one.
Grayson Nguyen
Yes. Any boomer telling you otherwise is either still permanently trapped in his 30's mindset, or deliberately exaggerating how rough he had it because the fact he could put a down payment on a house by flipping burgers part time in his teens will make millennial and zoomers want to fucking strangle him.
Blake Jones
Maybe's because the house fucking sinks sometimes
Noah Brown
he works at a nuclear plant as security something. Abe gave homer the house after selling another house that he won in some kind of tv show thing. Homer actually went to the university, Mr. burns sent him, Homer cheated at first but marge made him go back and finish it correctly. his car was made in Guatelama with pieces of old soviet tanks. they got the dog for free after he lost a race and the original owner kicked him out. the cat was also for free, the crazy cat lady threw it in Lisas face and she kept it.
James Brown
He got the down-payment from his dad selling the old farm he won on a crooked 50s game show.
Carter Ortiz
>nuclear power plant
>bad job
Bentley Price
is working at a nuclear power plant really a "ba job"?
Daniel Martin
with Burns as boss, yes.
Cameron Rivera
Burns strikes me as the type who put his signature on a stamp and handed it to Smithers to deal with all the paychecks.
Nathan Rodriguez
>housing prices are skyrocketing up to 2008 levels again
Ayden Wright
They're higher now, that chart doesn't go up to the present day. They're actually already starting to fall because even more well-to-do people are starting to get priced out, they're too high to actually be sustainable.
Wyatt Anderson
burns even lets them have a nap time, name one boss who lets you do that.
Blake Clark
he literally tortures his employers
Tyler Jones
yeah but most of the time he forgets you exist so if you fuck up one day you're in the clear the next
Eli Sanchez
that's not torture, it's forced labor.
Brody Torres
He was a plutonium grunt and that was the best job he ever had before becoming safety inspector as a political decision by his superiors.
Samuel Clark
Is the best we can hope for to be Frank Grimes?
Leo Perez
Because the house is weird, like where are the stairs to the basement?
