You begged for a link and I answered. I agree that I should have foot noted my source.
It is the same thing as to your remarks on past cost of college. That has to be put into the context of how much salary is today versus then.
Sorry I assumed everyone knows what the minimum wage is now and knows what college tuition is now. Do you need help finding that information?
PS...all of us have similar stories about past generations for sure. Did your family come legally or illegally. WE still have 4.5 million people who have paid money and are still waiting to enter the front door and do it legally.
I clearly have a lot to learn. My family came in through Ellis Island. They were healthy enough to stay. How do you pay your way in?
Don't be angry. Life is too short. I feel lucky that I am a boomer and that life has been easier for me than my folks, and for them again their folks. I wish I could pass that down to my kin and others who see America as a chance for a better life through hard work.
