Doing some math, because my Dad never made much money either. The $7 an hour he made back in 1990 is about $15 an hour when adjusted for inflation. (Single income. Mom did not work) But the house mortgage he got at that time was $175 per month, or just under $400 per month when ajusted for inflation.
Where can I make $15 an hour and have a mortgage for $400?
