WGN RADIO
— Illinois offers $15K down payment aid to first-time buyers. DD: Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 24 in 1972, I was able to buy a new townhome ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ ). The down payment came from the money I earned working for IRS for 15 months and for a Firestone Store part-time for 18 months and full-time for 7 months before that. That money I earned also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for four graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972. In 1972, my IRS salary increased from $56,409/year to $68,999year in today’s dollars. According to Zillow, the townhome is currently worth $87,100.
