[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's broken is an economy that forces a majority of parents to work full-time in order to make ends meet.[/quote] As more parents chose to work, the economy adapted to that model. Not the other way around.[/quote] This. Plus, people have loftier standards today. They don't want to live in a tiny house, never go out to eat, only go on vacations within driving distance. Lifestyle expectations are so different from those of our grandparents. [/quote] I see being able to take nicer vacations than I did as a kid as a side benefit of two incomes, but I would never work just to afford nicer vacations. I don’t know anyone who does this. And I don’t know where you live but this area is full of small, circa-1940s homes with dual income parents. [/quote] +1 living on one income for us would mean moving to an exurb and never seeing DH during the week due to the commute. [/quote]
