>an uneducated shoe salesman could afford this house, a relatively hot wife, 2 children and a dog, just a few years after high schoolThis is what boomers fucking took from you.
>>524690670You can afford a house
>>524690803bad example. illinois has high property taxes.
>>524690670He also had 3 mortgages and subsisted on tang sandwiches and toaster leavin's.
>>524690670You know, when you put it like that, yuppies like Marcy and Steve moving in next door made even less sense.
>>524690670This was fantasy even in the 80s. Shoe salesmen were not living in houses like that in the 80s and 90s unless they inherited them. Maybe in 1969 this was possible, if you were the manager of a shoe store, but even then, not for a mere clerk. The Simpsons and Married with Children had a propaganda angle: show the working class as buffoons but also living comfortably, so as to justify the changes of the 80s and 90s, the Neoliberal Era (which we're still in).
I was once called double digits bundy.
>>524690862>illinois has high property taxesIllinois has a high percentage property tax on low cost housing.Other states have a lower percentage property tax on 10x cost housing.Illinois property tax is actually cheaper nominally.
>>524691026Bitch stfu Illinois taxes are fucking terrible even in the fucking 80s.My ass sitting over here looking for deals.https://www.iltaxsale.com/new/index.php
>>524690670i memba, back in 2001, this cunt at work got a loan for 125k dollaridoos to buy a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house in the burbs. nothing flash, built in the 80s. he was working two jobs to afford it. We all said he was fucking crazy. by 2008 that house would have been work ~650k dollaridos, now it would be worth ~1.2 million easy.
>>524691026300k homes in cook county pay as much in taxes as >1mil homes in california.
>>524690803Kek. Literally 27 min drive. I would be interested but the spoon floods.
>>524691083Buy a $100,000 house and pay six thousand a year in property tax, i.e. 6%, or buy a 600,000 house and pay $18,000 per year in property tax, i.e. 3%. Which is the better deal?A lot of people are penny pinching and dollar foolish, especially when it comes to taxes. It's like the idea of taxes chafes them so badly they lose their sense of economic rationality and spend way more just to avoid some taxes.
>>524691204you can find 100k homes in other states, too. why pick the one with highest property taxes?
>>524691172Compare, the house I posted >>524690803vs picrelpicrel hassmaller housesmaller lot+$7000 in property taxesboth in "the middle of nowhere"Why would you buy the small house on the small land at 13x the price and 6x the property tax?Are you actually dumb?
>>524690670>TV is real life
>>524690670his house was also only 1200sqft and he had a wife who prepared healthy meals for him at home which saved money on food and healthcare. the tv came through the antenna and there was no internet so there wasnt a couple hundred dollars down the drain for ai slop. he was also raised much more humbler and had reasonable expectations for life.
>>524691432i wouldn't pay for either because one is a poorfag shitshack in a jewnigger infested state and another is a richfag vacation house in another jewnigger infested state.you can find equally cheap houses in wisconsin or indiana and pay less in taxes. even better, buy something in gary indiana and you're on the outskirts of chicago.
>>524691539name your US stateIllinois will mog you
>>524691240because Al Bundy lived in Chicago.try to keep up or else go stand in the corner.
>>524690670Hating on boomers does not make you interesting.
>>524690670We hadn’t done this exact thread yet again in several hours, thanks so much op
>>524691539>Gary Indiana Wasn’t this historically the worst place in America?
>>524691204>take a 3% annual loss on the biggest purchase of your entire life>just to live around niggers in a shitholelmao
>>524691601can't tell if serious. i never met a shill for illinois. nonetheless, just from neighbors, wisconsin is a much better state.>>524691667he only specified cheap/affordable and nothing else. it's also much closer to chicago (only city that matters in illinois) than the house he posted in shitville, il.
>>524691689This it amazes me watching people negotiate with themselves, reduce their standard of living to cope with how cooked the economy is.
>>524691689the best part is that the property tax money is primary used to fund the education for those niggers, and pensions for the jew politicians.
>>524691667Mexico is technically America, but the US doesn't have real slums besides homeless encampments
>>524691637Okay boomer
>>524690862Just keep renting and crying.
>>524690670Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game while playing for Polk Highcould you ?
>>524692009He could have been a celebrity if he didn't flush his life down the toilet by marrying peg and being chained to the first shitty job he could find to support her
>>524691805>wisconsinYou just paid $2300 in property tax instead of $1500Good jobCongratulations
>>524691933The rentoids are damn near the ones winning, yeah they rent space, but they dont repair anything or deal with taxes, a so called homeowner has to pay taxes to rent land from the government based on what they value it at, and they're also doing the job of property manager, so when shit breaks, its "their house" and their problem.
The kraut posted it again
>>524691805>wisconsinSimilar size houseSimilar size land8x the price3x the property tax
>>524691805Illinois is better than most places to live. Climate and soil are right. I’ve been here forever and I’m tired of pretending anywhere else is better. ILL
>>524692114>house nearly 2.5 times more expensive>1.5 times higher taxlmao. no wonder an illinois shill is a retard.
>>524692140in 2020 i spent $70k for 6 acres and a 800sqft house, my property taxes are $51/yr. without rent or a car i am able to get by on $200/month, $100 for power, $50 for phone and $50 for food/misc. my food bill is so low because i have i giant garden since i dont have to be a wagie and i also have chickens. life is pretty good right now, owning a place to lay your head brings peace to your mind.
>>524692399>8x the price>3x the property taxdo you not see the irony in posting this? now post a house for the same price.
>>524692435>>524692499ahahahahahahhere he goes>n-no! Show me me how much I wasted my money!!!10x the acreage2x the square feetnot even 2x the property taxLOWER PRICE
>>524692753>>524692399Damn bro, Illinois just beat your ass blind
>>524692753Nigger do you live in Macomb? Find me a place with a few acres within 45 min of kewanee would ya?
>>524692753how is showing that a house which is cheaper than the one in wisconsin having 2x the tax winning?
>>524692957>how is getting 10 acres instead of 1 acre for a lower price winning?????????Are literally retarded?
>>524690670There is no owning property or a house. You still pay rent, and it's even higher now that you "own" it. Ownership in the west is fucking dead
>>524693146euros dont do land ownership anon, they buy flats on land owned buy government and still have to pay what is essentially a property tax
>>524692009>>524692103>Scored 4 touchdowns in a single game>Married his highschool sweetheart>Got a job selling shoes to purchase a house>Had kids>20 years later regrets his decisionMany such cases.
>>524693146maybe if you weren't a retard you'd understand that you're not getting a deal. the price is suppressed because the taxes are high. the money you pay in taxes is irrecoverable whereas the money you pay for the property is recoverable. by your retarded nigger logic you might as well rent.no wonder you're too daft to understand this. you're the first person i ever met to shill for illinois.
i bought a house in one of the worst markets in the worldif i can anyone can seriously im a fucking retard
>>524690803 $80,000 isn't affordable
>>524692140>>524692475It's a trade off. The rentoid doesn't have any real personal responsibilities. The homeowner has all the personal responsibility.
>>524693268my total annual property tax in poland for 6 properties, 2 of which are residential, all of which have landed owned outright, is a whooping $500. that's also the reason why my primary residence is worth more than some of the shitshacks the japmil nigger posted, i.e. because high property taxes are not suppressing the price.
>>524692897>within 45 min of kewaneeThis is walking distance to the new Amtrak station in 2027. Geneseo has their own fiber optic company too.Sorry no acreage, but I'm sure you can find acres in Illinois wearing a blindfold.
>>524690670>relatively hot wife
>smacks roof>THIS BABY CAN FIT SO MANY SOMALIANS IN IT
>>524690979Homer works at a nuclear power plantThat ain't a working class career
>>524693510I can go lower. I like this place. It's walking distance from one of the best Amtrak stations in the whole country. They have fiber too. All it needs is a little paint.
>>524693712it was
>>524691520Peggy didn't cook. Did you even watch the show?
>>524693629>Peggy wants to fuck>Al is not into itI never understood it. They really tried to sell that Peggy is not hit.
>>524693825hot*
>>524693607I love old houses
>>524693825Because you have never been in a long term relationship.That is the joke, it is just going over your head by multiple miles.Men will fuck a woman like a freight train hitting a pack of abbos for about a year or two.After that it's a relationship, a real relationship.Sex becomes a fucking chore and when you deal with a woman's bullshit all day, she becomes the most unattractive thing in the world.No matter how hot she is, you get tired of her shit. Nothing is a bigger turn off than dealing with a woman's bullshit every day.because being in a relationship is inherently emasculating by its very nature.literal citation>men who are single have higher testosterone levels>men who are single have lower body fat>men who are single are more activeit's literal biological design, if you are single your body will promote an environment that makes you lose weight so you find a sexual partner.once you get her, you get fat and lazy, and depressed.
>>524690979>a propaganda angle: show the working class as buffoons but also living comfortably, so as to justify the changes of the 80s and 90sYou're not making much of an argument. What were the changes? And how does showing the working class as buffoons but also living comfortably justify those changes?
>>524690670>This is what boomers fucking tookOP is either a retard or a jew doing intergenerational d&c to keep us fighting each other instead of the jew. Boomers didn't take anything. Boomers were only lucky enough to be born before jews were able to print enough money through the fractional reserve slavery system to suppress their wages to the point where we find ourselves today.
>>524693607That rail line is never going to happen they’ve been talking about bringing Amtrak to the quad cities since before Obama. Also that’s way too much even for geneseo and state cops are ducks in Henry county.>I'm sure you can find acres in Illinois wearing a blindfold.My ass.
>>524693741Nothing but niggers.
>>524694008>men who are single are more unhappy >men who are single make less money>men who are single die youngerTake the wife pill, anons
>>524693712>>524693814lol noThe joke is homer is an idiot who has a very specialized high paying job because he got in when he had a full head of luxurious hair then after pulling his hair out after having children he became invisible and unrecognizable. So he can coast without actually working because mr burns is senile. The premise is you can have a good life by making mistakes and just existing as a flawed human being because jews are flawed themselves and somehow at the end of the society just functions on the back of the competent.
>>524690670mom said its my turn to post this thread
>>524690670He could also afford regular strip club trips. It was very strongly implied that Al Bundys job was just for on the books money and he made most of his money via various scams.
>>524695010What I wouldn’t give for a hot to trot ready to fuck redhead and an old dodge.
>>524694962Women force you to work or they will leave you. What you mean to say is take the family man pill.
>>524694008Fucking this. Though never been married, I was in a long term relationship and we were living together. Physically she's a hot little thing, in the beginning phase banging like four times a day was no exception. But as time progressed we got tired of each other's shit. She got really bitchy and needy, while I probably gave her the ick in some way. The sex became a lot less frequent, and even when she was in the mood, I sometimes would literally push her away, not because she was objectively ugly, but because I was tired of her bullshit, making her kinda like a witch to me.She was my last serious relationship btw. It's been almost 5 years now and one little fling aside I haven't really been active with women. Don't need to anymore, I'm done.
>>524693825You'll understand when you are an old man someday. Peg was an amazon...lmao. She married Al the football star not the couch potato.
>>524695235>women force you to be happy and live longerOh, the horror
My business is easily scalable it’s just a question of how hard I want to work. I guess my dream would be a Miami beachside mansion but a part of me just wants to quiet quit and live in some shitty Chicago suburb in a brown wood panel house like Al and just nap until I die.
>>524690670You forgot to mention that these people aren't real.
90s kid millennial streamer here I got all the 90s kid nostalgia stuff coming to you live!

>>524691019and i wanted to be a shrimp farmer and shrimp memes came from itno one will believe us
>>524690670No, he couldn't...The average home size in 1955 was 950 sqft with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, no HVAC, 1 TV, primitive washers and dryers, no dishwashing machines, no internet/cable, on .25 acres of land.You can afford a home like that right now if you actually wanted to live like that. In fact, in the rural areas in 1955, most homes still didn't have indoor plumbing and you still had outhouses and needed to manually pump a well to get water.But, you actually don't want to live like that. You're just an ungrateful loser that thinks he should be able to afford a 2,500 sqft house in the suburbs on a McDonalds wage.
>>524690803>built in 1920how many ghosts are there?
>>524695642>wood paneling on walls>ceiling like a hospital>likely reeks of cigarettesAll it needs is the occasional brutal beating and you'll have my childhood
>>524695984I miss the white internet. Only idiots and fools would make such outlandish claims.I believe you.
