Yeah. Maybe that's why people put up with inflation so long. All the moving parts and you only occasionally get clear glimpses of the thing.
While I am very sympathetic to the houses and cars are nicer and bigger than before and we made it illegal to build 'em shitty like we used to viewpoint...
I have torn apart a few old houses in my day and am currently living in a 2000s era house which I am tearing apart -- and there's no contest: the old houses were better built, with nicer materials, and many of their elements were 50 to 100 years old. The house I am currently in will be lucky to still stand at age 50 and I'm confident that none of the fixtures will survive that long.

This is pretty good. I admire your efforts here. It is so strange to me that twenty years ago, the only time I spent online was via a desktop. Thirty years ago, I didn't spent any time online at all. Now: I'm constantly online. It's so strange to think about all those hours.
I admire your efforts here. I know that I should probably try something similar myself...but I've always got a reason not to.
What tipped you over into making the decision?
