[quote=Anonymous]Studies have shown that it's not the "stuff" that makes the biggest difference in quality of life between now and the past generation, it's the big ticket annual items--like health insurance and medical bills. People also had pensions, so they didn't need to sock money away into 401Ks and the like. Also, in the DC area, the housing bubble really did in middle income families. DC in the 70s and 80s was a much more affordable, far less desirable city to live in.[/quote]
