Rates are crashing and fuel to the moon!

I haven't, will try to find it

might save a little money

 

Square footage of NEW constructions may average 2300, median square footage is still under 1,800. Home price to income is well over 4, compared to just over 2 in 1980. Rent to income was below 20% in 1980, now it's about 30%.

The argument was made that life is always tough and our parents were able to succeed despite the difficulties. I posit that if a person today were to make the same basic financial choices as a person in 1980, the person from 1980 would experience a better result. Luxuries were expensive, basic staples were cheap - relatively.

When I graduated from college I moved to Milwaukee with a friend. We had a two bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living room, and dining room that cost $625 a month. We ate out or ordered in 2-3 times a weeks and walked around the corner to Wolski's most nights. As of 2021 that same apartment is renting for $1,675. Even if we cut out all non-essentials there is no way Chuck and I could cover that rent on our incomes, let alone save any money. "Move outside the city" you say. Okay, but then we're not making the same choices.

I'm not saying that it's not possible to be successful these days. It is, it's just harder than it was.

 

Sooooo……how about those fuel prices fellas?

 

And don’t forget the rates?

 

It was a good day to get fuel in Aurora NE.

 

I forgot, what happened to the rates?

 

Was that the loves? I used to washout beside that pretty often. Then pull around and get the truck and trailer touched up. Them guys took their time but always felt it was money well spent

 

I took the two lane back to York to get away from everyone on 80. My brother got washed out there a while back and said it’s not as good as it used to be since they have all their pig trailers to wash.
