    What money? That money was probably gone within the first two decades, if not the first decade.

      Not if he bought a house with it. A $50k house in the '70s could be worth around a million now.

          I don’t know much about the US housing marketbut, here in the UK, I know two couples who bought their houses for £15-25k in the 1970s and they’re worth a million now.

          House price inflation is a very scary thing.
