That jump in number of years needed to save for a house. Bit straight into heart. It's a good website with many plots. I also liked how many hours one needs to work to buy into S&P 500.

Since then the banks have been inventing money out of thin air by issuing debts as they wished. The whole ruse was covered with a lot of bullshit like Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and other very bad newly developed financial instruments.
