However, show me a 60's muscle car that cost 1/2 as much as a house, took 5-6 years to pay for, with payments as high as a mortgage payment, and required service at a dealer that charged $75 per hour and had $100K worth of tools and equipment.

Alan, I don't know what houses cost in your part of the country, but in my neighborhood
they run $700-850K. I guess I could buy a nice Vet, Challenger & Mustang and stay
under that amount of money. Oh and out here in LA LA land the dealers at up to around
$90-110 per labor hour.

Yes when my wife retires in another couple of years we are selling out and moving out
of state!

A decent house is about $100K on 1/2 acre. Around here $700K will get you 7000+ sq feet on 30 acres. In fact, around $200K will get you around 3000 sq feet or more on a couple of acres. I paid $70K for mine 15 years ago. The market is depressed, it'll bring maybe $115K now.

Alan, thank you for the information. I don't know what I would ever do with a
7000 sq ft house or 30 acres. Jeff Lee is the only person I know with enough
kids to make use of a 7000 sq ft house.

I'll be darn happy with a 1800-2000 sq ft house on maybe one acre, just enough
room to add a nice shop to the back of the property.

We will probably look outside the Denver area since we have children & grandchildren there.
