  • When was that? Where?

    The house I bought in my 20s (for $275k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $475k.

    The house I bought in my 30s ($480k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $800k

    In my area at least, home prices are far outpacing inflation. I literally couldn’t afford to buy the house I’m in today at its current value.




  • My dad is probably about the same age (currently 81)

    He didn’t touch a computer until the mid 2000s, and he just wanted to be able to email. It was a looooong journey to get him comfortable doing that.

    Since he got a smart phone he texts literally every day, has installed a number of apps himself, can mostly get new services working himself (he did Amazon Prime, with some mild hand holding).

    If anything, I call him more then he calls me!

    It’s doable :)








  • I ran a Synology setup that ultimately I replaced with Unraid. I love the flexibility that Unraid provides, but Synology’s software really is top notch.
