He said half-decent and modest. If you are implying they are far more expensive then it's you that's out of touch. The average car on the road is 13 years old.

He said half-decent and modest. If you are implying they are far more expensive then it's you that's out of touch. The average car on the road is 13 years old. A half decent one can certainly be had for $6000. A modest kitchen renovation, for $6K, certainly. I wouldn't even call that modest. Quartz, countertops including demo and installation can be had for $40/Sq Ft. Assuming 50 SQ ft of counter space that's $2K. $2K of paint, cabinet work and ~$2k for new appliances would be much more than a modest renovation for most people. As this article is stating, most people, the majority, do not even have THAT amount.
