Calculating that: it’s about $1300/month, in 1996 dollars, which with inflation would be $2600 today. And you almost certainly refinanced in the 2000s when interest rates dropped like a stone. This is what my parents paid for the same neighborhood I live in.
Mine is $3600 and I “lucked out” with a 2.65% interest rate. The difference is mostly because the home values increased 10x in that time (vs. the 2x of inflation).

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
“Back in the day” they were like 13-18% but they were also like $80k. Lower interest rates is what drives up the cost of housing.
