Yeah back in the ‘golden years’ of the 90s the were saying you needed to earn twice as much as our family did to afford kids. Somehow we raised 2, through university and all without going bankrupt.

You were still relatively close to the gold standard at that point, so housing was still affordable.

Look at median income to 3+ bedroom home values now.
