On one income, I owned my first house in 1994 for $425/mo and next in 2001 for about 2x that. Hurricanes hit elsewhere in 05 & 07 (last here 1921) & I lost the 2nd when my (mandated) insurance doubled my monthly house payment.

By 2021 we could minimally survive on 1.5 incomes (did 1). Today it's 3.5 incomes (have 4).
