What was affordable 30 years ago, that only rich people can now afford?

@Musicman I was watching an ad on a streaming tv show last night, a pick up truck was being advertised for $80K, more than what a house cost in 1985.

@NativePortlander1970 Ford and Dodge both have a half ton pickup truck for $100k.

@Musicman And people wonder why so many of us harshly critisize capitalism and the free market so much

@NativePortlander1970 Not at all. Inflation is killing us.

@Musicman All orchestrated in 1892 in Omaha, Nebraska.

@NativePortlander1970 report said you need to make more money to buy a new vehicle than a house because vehicles depreciate and need to be replaced

@Musicman Add the frequency of having to pay for gas for those, like if you regularly drive in rush hour traffic for work.
