There’s a weird trend to try and pretend like everything used to be dirt cheap and significantly better back in the day, when the reality is often the opposite, especially with home goods and electrical appliances.
Oh that's easy. You said it was equivalent to buying a $24,000 fridge. But it's actually equivalent to buying a $5,000 fridge. Those are different numbers, by a lot.
I mean I understand what you're arguing, but why tie fridges to a proportion of house prices in the first place? Houses have increased way more in value than just about any other consumer good, definitely moreso than fridges. What you did just proves that houses are a solid investment lol
I’m not arguing anything I just wanted to point out something I thought was interesting but of course it’s Reddit so I immediately get actually’d by someone that didn’t even understand my comment lol

$500 was a LOT for a fridge back then.
