Quote:Anytime someone starts going on about 'this generation' I have to roll my eyes. This generation has it tougher than any generation that came before it.

Up until the '70s you could support a family of 4 on a single income. Have a house and a car too.

From then until the turn of the century, you needed two incomes to do that.

Nowadays everyone works just to scrape by and make rent, maybe have some money for food at the end of the week.

I'm thinking The Depression was pretty damn rough too.


Yes, you could support a family of four and have a house and a car. What you couldn't do was support a family of four, buy two new cars, pay for cell phones for all four family members, have the deluxe cable/internet package, have computers and tv's for everyone in the family...etc. etc. etc. You get where I'm going with this....
