When is the show supposed to be set? The house looks like it has 80 decor but I read its supposed to take place in 2008...

Takes place apx. between 2008-10

I think they had 80s decor because the family didn't have much money (Walt didn't earn much as a schoolmaster and I don't think Skylar worked, plus they had a son with disabilities and a new baby on the way). In the early episodes we see Skylar selling things on Ebay to make money, so they probably just had 80s furniture they inherited or bought second-hand from yard sales, Goodwill stores etc.

Why the fuck would you buy an house in those conditions??? Oo An house is not exactly the cheapest option as a place to live.
