This is all true. Let’s just remember that vacations were mainly driving, and a lot of camping. (I speak from experience and it was great.). Flying all over and staying at amazing hotels is not a right.
I do believe you’ve missed the point.
Maybe. I’m all on board for sustainable single income households with stable family structures. I just worry that most of the people under 40 read stuff like this and think “one income plus great vacations and no sacrifices”. That’s not truth. In these golden days that get referenced great vacations to distant lands were once or twice in a lifetime activities. And it was good. Camping with your family outdoors and driving an older car were part of the bargain. And it was good. The smartest kids in your high school going to state U was a great way of keeping talent local and grounded. And it was good.
Life is trade offs. Dream with eyes wide open.
You speak as if I wasn't there. ;)
Not in the 80s
You are off by a decade or two.
I lived through the inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s and until about 1985 it was a hell economy for most.
Reagan did turn things around but not that quick.
WTF happened in 1971?
