The Simpsons own this home on a single salary from a husband who didn't go to college
This was considered normal in the 90s when the show began

It’s a cartoon.
found the boomer scum
Your agitation raids do nothing.
This is what you could get as a shoe salesman
he didnt buy it, he inherited it and still had to mortgage it lol
Dude works i a fricking nuclear power plant. Its perfectly rational that he would own a house like that. Especially in the midwest.
Its a cartoon anon, a moron like him wouldn't even be allowed be allowed anywhere near a nuclear power plant in real life.
>wahhhhh capitalism bad!!!1
you could too if not for democrat mass immigration
slow down bucko. I hate the dems, but Reagan flooded the country with them and permanently flipped his home state of Cali. It's just rich elites doing it, not one side and by rich elites, I mean israelites.
wasn’t the simpsons house meant to be pink?
NEW MANDELA HOLY SHIT
for you and me
The outside was painted different colors, like yellow, pink, purple, etc. in earlier seasons. Usuaully its shown as a light brown or sometimes a light pink.
Is this the house full of fake shit that Fox made for that contest? They’ve managed to repaint it to look fairly normal.
death is approaching faster than you think. is posing about a cartoon from the 90s a good use of your very limited time on this earth?
you're here too, homosexual
I'm gay
>the 90s when the show began
Actually began in the '80s. First appearances were on the Tracy Ullman Show in like '87, and the first episode of the stand-alone show was '89. Probably was first created in concept in the mid '80s, if I had to guess.
my grandpa was an immigrant that barely spoke english. he worked as a GARDENER for his entire life and was able to support a stay-at-home wife and 4 kids. not only did he buy a home, but he bought a second plot of land right next to it just for a personal garden.
oy vey, blackrock needs that land
Get a job parasite
To be fair, Homer did work at a nuclear plant which probably paid a decent salary, although of course he wasn't legitimately qualified for the job
wasn't very good even for the 90's
That's a lot of money in my country (Argentina).
I don't think Springfield is in Argentina
That comes to $12/hr which was okay money back in 1996.
I think the biggest difference career wise for the average person these days is you rarely can get hired at a company with no degree and then work your way up to a legit career, my grandpa worked at a bottling or plastic factory hired with nothing but HS diploma and he was trained on so many aspects of the company that they promoted him to regional inspections guy and paid him to travel the country in like the 70s. I just want a chance to earn a career through a company without needing a college degree or trade certificate, I'm a great worker I just don't have it in me to go through the red tape to get through schooling
Even if you go through schooling you aren't guaranteed anything. Colleges are turning out useless idiots and employers and not impressed.
The whole "finish HS then do college to find yourself" song and dance is a giant waste of time considering the debt you end up with. If you go to college, you should go knowing exactly what you're doing and where you'll work after graduating
They made the Frank Grimes episode for people like you.
No zoomie, the joke is that the house is located at "742 Evergreen Terrace" which is clever in itself and quite funny to those with a mature sense of humour but what's really just hilarious about it is that if you look closely at the front of the house, the cheap rundown vehicle, the old mailbox, the stained driveway, you see the dilapidated, impoverished quality despite the house being new. Now, this might go over the average viewer's head as this, THIS, is peak comedy. I doubt anything will ever be as funny as the joke about an impoverished working class taking on middle class appearances. Are you ready for this one? So, like I said, the house is located at "742 Evergreen Terrace" but Homer works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant (SNPP), which means that when it used to be evergreen, well, I don't have to tell you...
You sound like a massive homosexual
Something zoomers don't get: Boomers used to help Gen X with the deposit for their first house. When you get married you get wedding gifts from everyone you know, which also go's towards the deposit for your first house.
Gen z grew up to be unlikable little gaygits, that no one wants to help. Not their friends, and not their families.
How much did they gift you to help with houses?
Houses cost much more now (probably the highest they've ever been). If you gifted me $10k, that'd be pretty inconsequential to the affordability of the house sadly.
>boomers helping their younger relatives with anything
He’s full of shit.
You can buy a $200k house with $10k.
>$200k house
I wish those still existed where I live, like they did 3 years ago.
They exist all over the country, you just don't want to live more than an hour from your capital city.
Springfield isn't in a capital city and homer's house was built when the town was just started.
With all the freedom and communication possibilities of the internet, the accessibility of anything you want online shopping and global couriers, absolutely INSUFFERABLE zoomer c**ts still whine about not being able to live in the city, for the price their parents lived in remote burbs.
Drink fricking bleach
I fell for the epic big city meme and it was fricking awful. American cities are basically Gotham at this point. Never again
I did the whole drive 1 hour to work one-way thing for 3 years of my life. Never again. There should be no reason to not be able to afford a house if you make more than median income in the area you live.
My current place I live keeps growing, so now the places an hour away are becoming unaffordable. If an actual person buys the house (as in not a corporation), its usually someone from California.
So you can get a third of the cheapest house on the market.
I bought my first house for about that. Then sold it, bought a better house for around $400,000. Sold that one and am currently in a place that cost $700,000.
You can still achieve the dream if you actually start somewhere. Though most people won't and will spend all their time complaining instead.
When did you buy your first house for $200k though?
I want to believe, but man here its $350k on average now (and I mean an hour drive from where I live too). I can't afford that.
There are some that pop-up for $280k range, but they usually need an additional $30k or $40k worth of repair. I regret not buying before the pandemic hit.
To be fair, it was over a decade ago and it was in a black neighborhood right before gentrification kicked in. I suffered for a bit but made good money. Glad I'm no longer there though.
>Get house down payment as gift.
>Use money for troony surgery and drugs.
Homer is a boomer, he was born in like 58 if you accept him being 32 in 1990. The boomer cutoff is 64.
Homer was in high school in the 1990s.
He will be in high school in 2023 when we all tune in to the 100th season from the nursing home too, the sliding time line doesn't change the original premise.
Beats living between two bowling alleys
>This was considered normal in the 90s when the show began
This was considered normal in the 60s when the show's creators grew up. By the 90s it wasn't.
Pay up rentoid. Rent is due plus tip
You can thank the boomers for opening up third world mass immigration and outsourcing all the jobs to China.
it was the israelite kissinger
