[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so tired of the people talking about what it was like in the late 90s/early 2000s. You could live on one income, you could buy a house inside the beltway for 25% of what it costs now, the list goes on. It's not the same. People had AWS and were teleworking some 20 years ago. It's not the same and stop saying it was. [/quote] I agree with your larger point but you’re wrong about home values. We bought our house in bethesda in 2011 and the increase in its home value is actually much less than the increase in stock market over that same period and is basically just about level with inflation. We bought our starter house in PG for 335 in 2003–Zillow estimate for that house today is 619 which is just barely over the inflation value of money (582). But the posters saying everyone worked 9-5 with no compressed work schedule in early 2000s—I don’t know if that was ever true. Maybe in the 1950s? [/quote]
