My grandmother, in 1983 bought her house for $50k

Today, it's worth just over $300k, paid off. Needs minor remodeling work but can easily get over $250k for it. She worked at a national Bank at the time, and I asked “what did you make, like $6 at the time?” “Oh no, more…like $15 or $16 an hour” she replied. I explained to her, that I make $18 an hour, full time. There are no 3 bedroom houses for $50k on a 30 year fixed mortgage anymore. What's the point of doing this shit? $31k a year in 1983 is worth roughly $89k a year today due to inflation. What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
