Well, if Gen X and Millennials wanted their own fortunes they should have planned ahead like boomers and been born back when a house cost $7,500.
/sarcasm
Lazy millennials can't even be born on time.
Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and travel back in time.
Wait. What if these anonymous crypto whale accounts were created by future us shortly after we discovered time travel? We just don't know we own them yet!
Wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise. I better start learning about time travel
Great Scott!
Watching Married with Children and realizing this dude is working as a store clerk and supporting a family of 5 on that single wage without actually living paycheck to paycheck and then realizing this isn't a fictional representation of the timeperiod, is really goddamn depresssing.
In less than 40 years the inequality of wealth distribution and the cost of living has changed so drastically that then they could live on one paycheck and now you only get by with a minimum of two.
for those curious but lazy, married with children was started filming in 1987 and supposed to take place in schaumberg illinois, so historically those homes were 4x less expensive than today.

Glad to see everyone in the family was counted
Yeah and in later seasons it was even 7 when the new kid came along and Peggy's mom moved in with them.
They made a point of representing Al as a half broke loser with a 30 year old car tho. You too can live like that if you leave the city
