"I recall that people of modest means 50 years ago could afford most consumer goods. My parents, a teacher
and a bookkeeper, had a house, car, TV, radios, washer, dryer, power lawn mower, and no debt but the
mortgage. Medical care was also not the expensive proposition it is today.
cary,
I will ditto this. Life was softer then. Much more 9-5 jobs, two parent families with only one member working, etc. at least in the growing middle class. Instead of moving to more leisure time as was predicted for our generation, we work longer hours and are always under pressure including answering your barrage of posts today. What are you on NO DOSE today. Remember No Dose and how we used it to stay up while cramming for exams? mike |
