I was thinking about this the other day. I'm a young whippersnapper who wasn't alive back then but it seems that that was a great period of time, in a manner of speaking.
Dad would go to work. Mom would stay home. They had a decent house, two or three kids, and a fenced yard to run around in. You could make a decent living, pay for a house and a car, take some vacations every so often.
I make pretty good money working for the police department but if my wife wasn't working, we'd be out on our rear ends in no time. Our house is decent but a rental. We have two cars that are 10+ years old. We don't have fancy electronics and our computer is a frankenbuild.
Do you think we'll ever get back to a time where you have a little more freedom to stay home, afford a house, afford a car that won't break every month? Or am I just aiming low in today's way of life?
