how rich is buck strickland? he told a spa worker he makes in a week what that guy makes in a year. Min wage, thats like 15k a year. So 15k a week = 720,000 a year. Nice.

Small correction: Hank never lived with Dale. Bill and Boomhauer, yes, but he specifically says to Peggy at one point, "this is why Dale and I never got an apartment together"
I would say that was likely the biggest inflation to Hank's net worth in this video. I don't think there is anyway Buck would have hired him on as an assistant manager right away. There are even episodes where Hank reminisces about when he started as a tank wipe and how Buck taught him how to do things right. I'd guess Hank started out just slightly better than minimum wage and worked his way up offer the years, taking on more responsibility as Buck realized he could slack off and let Hank handle things.
@@Cyborgschatz Yeah I would have had him making like 15-25k for the first couple years and maybe by the time Bobby comes he is Assistant manager and making 45.
Hank also seems to work on a sales commission system some parts of the year. Grillstravaganza is a sales competition between all members of the company other than Buck. Hank regularly works to make big deals with deep pocket customers and regular customers.
I liked the episode where Mr. Stricklin gets his nephew or whoever to run things and he makes all the drivers quit. Then they don't have any drivers because they need HAZMAT licenses but Hank finds out they don't need HAZMAT to tow the trucks with a wrecker.
One thing you forgot to take into account was when he had his truck hit by the train that insurance would pay him some cash for it's worth, as he's good about having insurance for every eventuality so he had full replacement coverage
Their house absolutely would not have cost $100K in the mid 80s. My guess is that it would've probably been closer to $60K. Homes prices have gone up faster than inflation and having lived through the 80s that's probably what a house that size would've cost in central Oklahoma. I doubt it would've been much different in Arlen, which is a small town and that's going to also keep the price around the same or lower.
My folks paid just over $250k for their house in 1996. This years appraisal as they were looking to move was $790k with the realtor saying should start off at $850k. Wages have not kept up with property values not in the slightest.
Thank you my aunt by a house in Cerritos in ca when it was still farmland she’s 80 years old now she found it when she was in her mid-20s it was only $60,000
The time line on the show is very inconsistent. In "Luanne Virgin 2.0" Hank states that he married Peggy at age 18 (between 1971-1972). However, Peggy supposedly still lived in Montana in the early 70s.
There were quite a few continuity changes when it comes to Hank and Peggy's younger lives. In Season 2, there's a flashback to her high school years where her mom is depicted as living in Arlen and being an English teacher so prim and proper she doesn't allow people to use contractions in her house. Later they simply said she grew up in Montana, then Season 9 opens with her whole family still living in Montana and the mom, who implies Peggy didn't move away til she was 18, is depicted as a ballsy cattle rancher.
@@KawaiiCat2 maybe Peggy's family moved to Arlen briefly only to move back to Montana sometime after Peggy graduates from High School? That's the only explanation I can think of
When did Hank sell tractors? As a kid he wanted to sell propane and propane accessories, if his grades were good enough... He attended a Mason Mower Focus Group at the mall... He competed in local tractor race for "DGS" diminished gluteals; he came in 7th bc Dale Gribble sabotaged him by popping his left gluteal orthotic... Gordon, the Canadian who stayed at Boomhauers house one summer was a tractor salesman for McCullum Mowers... I don't think Hank ever sold tractors, please correct me if I'm wrong
@@tiffanyroth1066 yes. When hank catches on to what's happening he tests Ted by asking him "what do I sell for a living?" Ted's response is "tractors?" Cut away to the alley where one of the guys says "but you used to sell tractors" and hank replied "yeah, but Ted didnt know that"
Side note, Texas didn't and still doesn't have a state income tax. Also, Texas became right to work in 93. Long story short the cost of living there is very low with very minimal gov.

@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 all is left to do is calculate how much did he spent on a house, what any other income he made, how much he spends om basic stuff and so on and so on
2 very, VERY big problems with your math here. You forgot that hank and Peggy bought a new motorcycle, and secondly a brand new ford truck in the late 90's would not cost anywhere near $10,000.00 even the most basic model is well over 20k.
Hank's yearly bonus changes depending on how much propane he sells. When he says he gets the $1k bonus that it wasn't as high as the previous year, meaning he got more at least the year before. I also think you can glean a lot about their finances from the episode where he adopts the armed forces cat. Their vacation budget is just over $3000.
Hank actually drove a Ranger for the first 5 seasons, the truck was originally a 1993 Ranger but later changed to a square body 1983 for that specific episode in season 5 afterwards he's generally seen in his 199x-200x F250 Super Duty
I think $400,000 cash. Hermès said something to the effect of “luckily I got the payments down to $100,00 a month but we’ve only got enough money 4 more months.”

@@RichV20 right. Millennials don’t understand that with inflation and their low interest rates housing was about the same in small towns. In larger cities where foreigners invest in housing to protect their money from their governments that has skewed the housing market.

Hank never got an apartment with Dale, Bill or Boomhauer after high school. He mentions that because Dale is "different", that is why he never got a apartment with the guys.
Hank was dumbfolded that he always paid sticker price on his cars. You should include Dale in which Nancy is the breadwinner, Bill who's in the US Army and divorced, and Boomhauer which we don't know until the end. Hank and his friends can do the truck maintenance that he doesn't have to pay labor. You should include the vacation savings. One episode Hank squandered it on veterinary expenses when petsitting a soldier's cat.
I liked this but I literally called B.S. on Hank's 1980 wedding. No way $5000. Maybe $300 and his buddy let him use the VFW hall for free. Boomhauer provided bootlegged booze. Peggy's gown $99 and two rings for $98 (NOT gold since it was $800 an ounce), but they had to drive 18 hours round trip to Houston to get them.
@@fumomofumosarum5893 Yeah, probably not the best baseline for the wedding cost estimate. Dallas is a big city, with a higher-than-average concentration of businessmen, bankers, and so forth. All the well-to-do in the area probably bump up the average wedding cost a bit.
Hanks first truck was actually a 1983 Ford ranger (assuming what hank says about owning it for 20 years is true, which is odd because it's the 1993/1994 model) which would be around $6000
@@leoclay5356 That matches what he says, not the design of the truck. What he says indicates 1983-1992 year range. Design of the truck matches the next generation of the Ranger.
The first truck we see Hank driving is 1993 Ford Ranger, though in the Chasing Bobby episode, it was retconned into the previous generation(it was more square). Also Hank traded in his Ford Maverick to get his Ranger. The truck that replaced the train hit Ranger, was a 1999 F250 Super Duty.
They seem to do fine. Bills are all paid, house is well maintained, they regularly eat out and take vacations and weekends away. It used to be a working class family COULD do all those things.
I mean he kind of is. 210,000 dollars is not a huge amount of money for a 50 year old. He likely would need to work until nearly 60 to retire which would put his retiring date mid Great Recession. If any major medical bills pop up he would be kind of fucked
They definitely had the house before Bobby was born because they got Ladybird before Bobby, Bill says so in the episode where Hank wants to breed Ladybird. Hank also got Ladybird for Peggy because of his narrow urethra, it's in a flashback in another episode.
According to the episode “Yankee Hankee,” Hank was born in New York City on the day that Castro visited Yankee Stadium. this was a real event, and it occurred on April 15, 1959. The show aired in 1997, so that would make Hank about 38 at the start of the show. *But… In the episode where Sauers coaches Bobby’s team, it’s said that the championship game (during which Hank’s ankle snapped) was held in 1974. Hank was a senior for that game. That doesn’t jibe with 1959, because it would mean Hank was only 16 in his senior year. If you go by the year of the game, Hank would have been born about 1961. This would put Hank at 36 when the show starts.
It's impressive how tight the writers of the show got Hanks income of his family through out the serious (with some creative license). Makes me respect them even more as the show def feels like it was made by and for the average southwest American family.
That's what happens when you actually budget and save. Everyone is all whiny about how things were so much cheaper back then. Well yeah salaries were lower so good were cheaper it's called inflation. The economy is just as good now as it was then so quit the "whoa is me' crap Millennials.
You missed the episode where Hank & the guys rent out house next to them as their clubhouse but it falls apart & Hank says this is why he didn't get an apartment with them after H.S.
@@JoshuaDomoslai $5.15 minimum wage * 160 hours = $824, 20k-31k MSRP + 20% dealer/fees, $24k-38k. Likely financed, so they made payments. Assumed 7%, 72 months, $356 low end $563 high end. Hank could get the low end model, but the top of the line REQUIRES Hank to make more than minimum wage.

In the episode where Bill gives the gang lice forcing them to shave their heads leading Hank to discover the "Bill" tattoo on the back of his head. Hank drunkenly tells us the army didn't accept him due to his narrow urethra. However, when Hank and Peggy were trying to conceive Bobby (obviously this takes place after the night Hank gets "Bill" tattooed on the back of his head) THAT was the moment they actually discovered they were having difficulties conceiving due to Hank's narrow urethra. So I'm assuming the writers slipped up and made a plot hole. Anyone else notice this?

You also didn’t account that he changes his oil every 2-3 thousand miles or when he gets bored
Oil changes are like 30 bucks
Whichever comes 1st.

Xale probably imported, America oil is top notch as well as its price. Not to mention the oil filter and he certainly isn’t re using the washers.
Would changes now are around 45- and so
If Hank Hill was making $45000 a year in 1980 he was loaded.
I would say that was likely the biggest inflation to Hank's net worth in this video. I don't think there is anyway Buck would have hired him on as an assistant manager right away. There are even episodes where Hank reminisces about when he started as a tank wipe and how Buck taught him how to do things right. I'd guess Hank started out just slightly better than minimum wage and worked his way up offer the years, taking on more responsibility as Buck realized he could slack off and let Hank handle things.
@@Cyborgschatz Yeah I would have had him making like 15-25k for the first couple years and maybe by the time Bobby comes he is Assistant manager and making 45.
When he mentions salaries he always adds “adjusting for inflation” meaning he accounts for what that money would equal in the year it’s relevant.
Hank also seems to work on a sales commission system some parts of the year. Grillstravaganza is a sales competition between all members of the company other than Buck. Hank regularly works to make big deals with deep pocket customers and regular customers.
I liked the episode where Mr. Stricklin gets his nephew or whoever to run things and he makes all the drivers quit.
Then they don't have any drivers because they need HAZMAT licenses but Hank finds out they don't need HAZMAT to tow the trucks with a wrecker.
One thing you forgot to take into account was when he had his truck hit by the train that insurance would pay him some cash for it's worth, as he's good about having insurance for every eventuality so he had full replacement coverage
But he also only said his brand new 1999 or 2000 pick up truck was only $10,000, a truck like that would've cost almost $30,000 in 1999-2000ish
Something tells me Hank's credit score is excellent
@@superpig5000 solid call back
Their house absolutely would not have cost $100K in the mid 80s. My guess is that it would've probably been closer to $60K. Homes prices have gone up faster than inflation and having lived through the 80s that's probably what a house that size would've cost in central Oklahoma. I doubt it would've been much different in Arlen, which is a small town and that's going to also keep the price around the same or lower.
My folks paid just over $250k for their house in 1996. This years appraisal as they were looking to move was $790k with the realtor saying should start off at $850k.
Wages have not kept up with property values not in the slightest.

The time line on the show is very inconsistent. In "Luanne Virgin 2.0" Hank states that he married Peggy at age 18 (between 1971-1972). However, Peggy supposedly still lived in Montana in the early 70s.
There were quite a few continuity changes when it comes to Hank and Peggy's younger lives. In Season 2, there's a flashback to her high school years where her mom is depicted as living in Arlen and being an English teacher so prim and proper she doesn't allow people to use contractions in her house. Later they simply said she grew up in Montana, then Season 9 opens with her whole family still living in Montana and the mom, who implies Peggy didn't move away til she was 18, is depicted as a ballsy cattle rancher.
So if Peggy lived in Montana and Hank lived in Texas, how did they end up dating in high school?

They definitely had the house before Bobby was born because they got Ladybird before Bobby, Bill says so in the episode where Hank wants to breed Ladybird. Hank also got Ladybird for Peggy because of his narrow urethra, it's in a flashback in another episode.
According to the episode “Yankee Hankee,” Hank was born in New York City on the day that Castro visited Yankee Stadium. this was a real event, and it occurred on April 15, 1959. The show aired in 1997, so that would make Hank about 38 at the start of the show.
*But…
In the episode where Sauers coaches Bobby’s team, it’s said that the championship game (during which Hank’s ankle snapped) was held in 1974. Hank was a senior for that game. That doesn’t jibe with 1959, because it would mean Hank was only 16 in his senior year. If you go by the year of the game, Hank would have been born about 1961. This would put Hank at 36 when the show starts.
It's impressive how tight the writers of the show got Hanks income of his family through out the serious (with some creative license). Makes me respect them even more as the show def feels like it was made by and for the average southwest American family.

In the episode where Bill gives the gang lice forcing them to shave their heads leading Hank to discover the "Bill" tattoo on the back of his head. Hank drunkenly tells us the army didn't accept him due to his narrow urethra.
However, when Hank and Peggy were trying to conceive Bobby (obviously this takes place after the night Hank gets "Bill" tattooed on the back of his head) THAT was the moment they actually discovered they were having difficulties conceiving due to Hank's narrow urethra.
So I'm assuming the writers slipped up and made a plot hole. Anyone else notice this?
Hank had a job selling tractors at one point as referenced when he’s offered a spot at the country club.
Hank's got a work ethic and only seems to take major expense due to helping or supporting others.
He wastes all his money on a damn beer every episode 😭
TopSavage if they drink every day thats still at least once a week though
@@chey6073 Yeah but they're drinking the equivalent of Budwieser so that's like $8 for a 6 pack give or maybe even a 12 pack. Hardly bank breaking.
The american dream
@@benjamingriswold3408 I think they specifically buy 6 packs, i remember seeing them holding one in the plastic ringlets on multiple occasions, and alamo is definitely something like a Budweiser, since the only other large named beer mentioned in the show is hi brau which is imported.
Hank is not broke. He handles his finances as well as he handles his tools and his yard.
He didn't pay the stuff off, he returned everything except the jet skis.
