Housing Isn’t More Expensive—Your Dollar Is Just Worthless

The media says housing is unaffordable—but that’s only true if you measure in dollars. Taylor Kenney exposes how inflation and government overspending have distorted home prices, making it nearly impossible for the average person to buy.

“If you had gold instead of dollars, you could buy the same house today for less gold than in 1970.”

Look at the numbers: In 1970, the median home price was 2x the average annual salary. Today? It’s over 5x, despite more people working and wages supposedly increasing. The reason? Since the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971, fiat currency has been printed into oblivion, making your dollars worth less every year.

Now, inflation is accelerating again, and central banks are stockpiling gold. They know what’s coming, and they aren’t warning you. If you’re still measuring your wealth in dollars, you’re already losing.
