It was not 40k back then by the way and I agree with you that the cost of living is hugely different from when I was a kid in the 80's.

I guess I'm a nut haha.

I don't agree, the costs are near the same the methods and madness are different today then they were in the 80's. A 21% interest rate has a way of limiting debt and making you live by your funds/cash. Cheap money...BLEEDS debt.

When I say cost of living is higher, I'm also including housing costs. Are you saying that clothing, energy, food are near the same? I don't know about those but was assuming they were also higher.
