>>llcf...have you ever asked your dad if his quality of life is better now then thirty years ago?<<

that is an improper comparison. llcf's dad has had 30 more years to collect wealth.

he better be doing better. not b/c "things" are better in general. rather, he has had 30 more years to accumulate financial security.

>>i know of no one that feels they currently have a lesser quality of life....<<

as stated above, your "analysis" is grossly flawed.

a much better way to measure quality of life is to look at similar age groups at different periods of time.

care to guess what an urban home cost as a % of income in 1973. how about now? it is waaaaaaaay up.

kids with 2 working parents in day care usually don't. The parents of those kids?? Hell yes wish they didn't have to both work, don't know who you know.
