That sounds like the American dream compared to now.

I was asking my mom how much she paid in rent back in 1981 and it was $125 or $150 per month and this was for a 3 bdrm, full living room, full dining room, full kitchen and one bath apartment of at least 12-1400 sq ft.

Rt now my son pays for a 2bd crackerjack box of maybe 600sq ft that has slightly bigger bdrms than a NY apartment, a front room w/ kitchen area and bathroom for $1450 w/out utilities, but really nice neighborhood.

In 2001 my rent for an 800-900 sqft 1 bdrm apt w/full living room, separate dining room, full kitchen, 1 bth for $500 in a nice neighborhood.
