<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1057542, member: 23626&quot;]Sorry, but the car anology is comparing apples to oranges. But in reality, a $30k auto would require 200 days of a net pay of $150. I do not know the take home pay of an average worker in the US, but I do know that few people today can pay cash for a car. In fact fewer and fewer will ever own a car. Leasing one seems to be the popular method of having one today. As with housing prices, a simple comparison won&#039;t work either because of the huge differences in construction costs, size, zoning &amp; building codes, etc. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had thought at one time that raw land cost could measure inflation/devaluation, but since the availability and location always changes due to population growth and shifts. laws and other factors. That cannot be accurate either.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am going to ask my son, an economist, how they measure it. But however it&#039;s done, it&#039;s guesswork.
