Since we are so far off topic I guess I will jump in.
Back in our day we did not need $10 per pack cigarettes.
We did not need a $50 per month data plan for our $400 smart phone.
$200 sneakers! $100 jeans!?
A new(er) car was never in the equation.
Just to name a few.
Today it takes more than one job to fulfill the wants of individuals. The needs (real needs) are at a whole different level.
Comparing then and now is comparing a grape to a water melon!!
