[quote=threadkiller]Wouldn’t it be nice if when our troops come home they could buy a home that was affordable in the 50’s, instead of built in the 50’s.[/quote]
The average American home was 1,200 square feet in the 1950s. I’m pretty sure that most troops would find that size home affordable today in most places.
The problem is that the average American home today is almost 2,400 square feet. And, admittedly, most troops are going to have a tough time with that implied mortgage.
Frankly, most people probably have a lot more house than they need. I would like to think that our Troops are smart enough not to buy into The Lie that they need a big house to be happy.
