I have at no point been talking about amassing wealth through owning an asset though. I've been talking about earnings in/out to compare someone at the same stage in two time frames. Not someone who is 25 in 1971 and thenas a 75 year old owning an asset in 2011

If you are 25 years old now..you face a whole different world that a 25 year old man faced in 1971 regarding even gaining a house as an asset.
