OUR SECOND HOME, purchased in 1970 on a contract for deed with a balloon payment due after three years. Times were different then; the freedom to arrange creative financing between buyers and sellers was a common practice, one that required a Notary Public, usually two employed members, the couple purchasing the home and the hope that the jobs lasted. Subsequent home purchases became less simple, but regulated.
Prior to retirement age when the Medicare kicked in, there was a number of HEALTHCARE companies that were competitive. As far as auto purchases and auto loans, the interest rate could be 18 percent if one had less than what was considered great credit. The autos, however were not almost 50,000 grand. The 412 listed for under ,000; likewise, the Buick Skylark deluxe was less than ,000. Times were different, prices were different. When one my age reflects on how high prices have risen, one naturally gets less than thrilled.
