Relatively speaking, it was much easier because the interest rates trended down and allowed you to refinance at lower rates. And standard of living was much higher. You also didn’t even have to finance a house, you could’ve saved up and bought it in cash.

I agree, most items in the Living category are now 10x, except average income.

Average house in the UK is 10x the average income, not 2.5x.
