Affordability Crisis

Inflation is out of control. The politicians are not reporting on it. We are tracking inflation at a macro level.

Your grandfather in 1975:

- Bought a house: $39,000
- One income
- Union job, pension
- Retired at 62

You in 2026:

- Rent: $1,600/month
- Two incomes
- No pension, “unlimited PTO” you can’t use
- Retirement: lol

Same country. 50 years apart.

“Nobody wants to work anymore”

Median rent: $1,600
Median wage: $18/hr

That’s 89 hours of work just for rent.

Nobody wants to work for free anymore.

Boomers: “We paid for college working summers.”

Tuition in 1980: $800/year

Minimum wage: $3.10 = 258 hours. One summer.

Tuition now: $29,600

Minimum wage: $7.25 = 4,083 hours. Two full-time YEARS.

It’s not work ethic. It’s math.

A Big Mac meal in 1990: $2.45

Today: $12

McDonald’s didn’t get better.

Your dollar got worse.

They call it “inflation” so you blame math instead of the people who caused it.

Your grandparents bought a house on one income.

Your parents needed two.

You need two incomes, a side hustle, and a 7% mortgage, for a smaller house, further from work.

Inflation has destroyed America.

Follow my account. I plan to track all of the price increases in America and how it has destroyed this country.

[Affordability Crisis @trackingcosts]

Since 1990, the cost of living in America has exploded.

- Home: $123K to $411K
- College: $1,900 to $29,600 a year
- Health insurance: $3K to $25K
- New car: $15K to $48K
- Rent: $450 to $1,600

Income didn't keep up

I will be exposing the system and what it did to America.
