On the lower end of the spectrum.
My mother was two years old in '32 and her parents were able to buy their first home that year for $1400.00 and they had no idea if they would be able to make the mortgage payments on it with my grandfathers salary working as a cobbler. They made though by grandpa hiring in at a Chevrolet dealership as mechanic. That career path ended up being a 34-year journey and the house got paid off.
Mom is still with us & I just wished her Merry Christmas a few minutes ago. This is her 95th Christmas & counting.
The blessings are many!!
