I'll go based on my mom's salary and stuff back then. She bought a brand new car for $4000 cash. She thought making $800 dollars a month was living large and the house was bought for abt $30,000 and it was a big one-level house with a carport and huge backyard! This was in North Carolina.

Question truly lies in the eye of the beholder. Last time I owned a house was 1990. I sold in 1993. I LOVED house and job.\n     I stopped believing in whoring myself out for hourly wage. When this was first introduced in States back when people fiercely rejected the idea as"selling themselves out as mere chattel 4 slave labour.\n    That info has probable, gone down the "MEMORY HOLE"by now. How ever, at time of 1993 departure. I was earning $16,45. per hr.100% percent benefits and was only months away from the magic 5 year plan.\n    This was great company 2 work 4 because at 5 year. mark. You became salaried with 125% pay raise and company car(personal & weekend were a llowed plus u get company gas card.) all co workers where shoked that I would walk away now, yet things were troubling me, about exploitation of poeple being foced into obscence living/ woking cnditions. So many die and live in absolute poverty. unimanagable in west all so we can get cheap reding glasses & and all else.\n  Although things 4 me were great and kookng better, I opted out of This new Capitaliim. brought in dramaticliy by Thather and the people who  Reagen his lines.Forget loans uless absolute emergeny. and pay back at end of end of each month. Never, ever pay minaimin  balance. u could pay  4 20 yrs, an stillnot have made dent in payment sinced u have been interest only...MARY

there wasn't a huge cash economy back then, unless you're talking about cities but then was the same as now.  a house in new york in 1888 isn't going to cost the same as a house in nebraska in 1888

In my area of the country (Northwest USA) it seems to follow this pattern:\nRich--$1 million and above\nUpper middle class--$250,000 to 1 million\nMiddle Class--$100,000 to 250,000\nLower Middle Class--$50,000 to 100,000\nPoor--Under $50,000 or Apartment.\n\nI know the spectrum is a little different depending on relative population of different areas of the country, but right now with the housing market as it is, this is about where house values are in relation to status.

Moved from a 2 bed / 1 bath 1040 sq ft bungalow in the Crenshaw District of L. A.; paid $150,000 for it four years ago.  Sold it for $432,500 in August.  Moved to Bismarck, ND (Yeah, I know...freaking cold!).  Bought a 2500 sq ft home on a 10,000 sq ft lot, 4 beds / 3 baths / 3 car garage for $189,000.  Crime rate one of the lowest in the nation, unemployment at 3% or less.

I don't think there is one, unless you mean as a National average. The Prime rate is what you may mean. That is the prime lending rate that banks charge their prime customers to do business and then that sets all the other rates that lenders charge. The Prime now I think is 5.25 so that would raise a typical home loan to about 6.75 and autos to around 13.6 or so.

In May of 1973, before the first oil crisis, the average price of regular gas was 38.5 cents per gallon. In June of 1974 it had risen to 55.1 cents per gallon. I don't know the inflation ratio since then so I don't know what that means in adjusted dollars, but it didn't seem to take the bite then that it takes now.

This is an interesting question. The census bureau's website would probably be the best place to start. I do not know if they have all of their stats posted from decades past.

Well that really depends - live where, CA or AL?  apartment or house, kids or no kids? \n\nWhen I moved out and got my first one room studio apt in St Louis, I was making $8.00 - but that was 18 years ago. \n\nToday, I would guess a minimum of $15 if you like bologna and mac & Cheese.   But I am sure there are people who survive on less.
