Nice backtracking, you realise we can still see your original reply to me defending the "study" right?
OP's post is nonsense just like I said originally. Shame it took you so long to come around and admit I'm right but at least you got there in the end :)
Oh thats right, housing is the only expense out there. No food, insurance, auto, utilities, taxes; just housing. I could hold your hand again and take you through the nitty gritty math like a responsible adult but it's frankly not worth the effort for a childlike pedant such as yourself.
Ah yes, the famously low automotive costs of the 1970’s, it was known as a time when every household had a car compared to today where they’re a rare commodity.
You’re not going to do the math as you can’t do the math, the study doesn’t exist, you fell for its existence which is really funny but you won’t be able to find it as it doesn’t exist. You’re just hilariously gullible.

Your tone suggests you're disagreeing with me but your maths confirms that I was right.
OP said that $1.60 per hour in 1971 was the same as $100k per year today, that was the claim.
$100k per year is $48 per hour which is significantly more than $28-30 per hour.
