If you have a little'un who wants to wear purple, put some more coin in the savings jar.

Someone wished that our tuition would rise slower than inflation, and the monkey paw curled....

There's a surprise!

 

[Big Frog II]

Well, they did not raise it at all last year.

Thank goodness I matriculated in the 1960's. My four years cost less than 10K including everything. (except beer)

Ah, so before higher ed turned into an overpriced albatross hanging from student necks

Gotta be like Yale. Student body number = Administrators number. Gotta fund all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion staffers.

How much was your first house?

I spoke with a guy who was in his 70s or 80s last week and he said his first gone cost only 25k

I’m not in my 70s or 80s but the first house that Mrs Pharm and I purchased was $39,000 (1992). Three bedroom in a residential area of San Angelo. Was a great experience learning how to be property owners and basically cut the apartment rent in half plus got the deduction. I can only imagine what Wog’s was. My father (who is 81) purchased his first home for 22K on about 1 acre in south Montgomery County. I think he told me that was around 1972/3.

Trade school is where my little boy is going. My masters and undergrad are about as worthless as they come now days.

We bought our first house (a condo) in Pacifica, CA in 1973 for 25K. Sold it 14 months later for 45K. 5 years later, it sold for 240K.

I bought my current house in 2015. According to Zillow, it’s worth nearly twice what I paid

Sure wish my granddad had hung onto my dad’s childhood home - a little 25 or so acre farm in the sticks between Keller and Grapevine (less than 1/10th of a mile from where Bonnie and Clyde killed two police officers a decade earlier). He sold it in the early 60s to move them into Grapevine proper. Anybody wanna guess what 25 acres on Dove Road at 114 would be worth today?

More than it was in the 60s.
