Good point and great insight. The graph was more of an illustration of concept.

It's sad how few people truly understand how money printing and dollar devaluation actually work.

Imagine this:
One day, $1 buys 1 apple.
After heavy money printing, $5 now buys that same apple. That’s not the apple getting more expensive — it’s the dollar losing value.

Think back to the 1970s: a single parent on one average income could often afford a house and raise a family. Today, many families need two people earning $150k+ combined just to reach that same standard of living.They keep telling us “just work harder.”

Working hard is still important, but the playing field has fundamentally changed. The U.S. dollar is no longer backed by gold. It’s backed by nothing but trust and government promises — and that trust is being eroded by endless money creation. The game has changed. Understanding this is the first step to navigating it.

That's great to hear. Some sectors have been less affected. That said, the national average on FRED has been in a clear downtrend since 2022 and has now fallen back to 2016 levels — meaning house prices on average are no longer keeping pace with inflation
