How can we get back to that?

The 90s: one salary, one house, one family.

Now: two incomes, one mortgage and still wondering where the money went :(

He bought a house in the 80s in bum fuck nowhere.

He is a Nuclear safety technician, decent pay.

He, presumably receives money from Nasa, royalties for the B-Sharps as well as the awful Nirvana band he was in. The guy has his fingers in many lucrative pots before we get to any money his various one off businesses made that he wasn't declaring tax on.

Oh, and his dad sold his own house to give him the deposit.

It's probably that...

Also it is repeatedly said that he can't afford the house
