I remember my parents talking about buying the house they lived in when I was born in the early 80s for 30k. Yeah, it was a shanty by modern standards but I clearly haven't frozen or starved to death so it must have done it's job. My mom always talked so great about the neighbors and such too. I barely remember it we moved around when I started school. I think I've heard my Dad made something like 20k or 25k salary at the time. Totally do-able for a functional house even with crazy interest.

Yep my buddy at work said he paid 70 in Arizona. He must live in a mansion.
He was a sales guy so I have no idea how much he made. He told me he paid off the house.
