<p>[QUOTE="crazyd, post: 8193902, member: 67221"]Hmmm.. did some looking. When I graduated college (1988) I got a new car for $12,500. Last year we paid about $36000 a new hybrid CR-V. However a similar sedan would have been $28,000. So lets say 2.5 times the cost for a new car. The Stock market value is 17 times higher. My home has increased about 5 times the price. My income is 6 times higher than when I graduated. Much of this (especially home prices) varies greatly by where you live.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
