Rent prices vs Average income (1990-2023)

💰

Notice they use "household income". Until the late 70s most households had a single wage earner. So that graph is even worse than it seems. Even with two people working that gap is still getting bigger.

1990: if I work hard, get a job, I will buy a house 2023: if I work hard, get a job, I can pay my rent

"...and for me the right time to buy was 30 years ago"

Boomers are so resentful and bitter, they know how the economy is they still have the nerve to call us whiners.
