[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact is the middle class lifestyle of yesteryear has become much more expensive. Back in the 70s and 80s a family could buy a decent house in a good school district, have a couple cars and send their kids to nearly-free public colleges on one middle class salary. To replicate that same basic former middle class lifestyle will literally cost millions in the DMV today.[/quote] False. People now think they need large SFH designed by Joanna Gaines, a new Suburban, and family trips to Europe to be middle class. That wasn’t the middle class a generation ago. [/quote] +1. There are so many more expectations for life now. [b]People on here think you must pay for 4 years at a private college. [/b]In the 90’s my family didn’t even save for me to go to a public college. Kid’s’ birthday parties have to be held in fancy venues for $500, whereas in the past kids would just come over and eat cake at the house.[/quote] In many areas, that was the expectation in the 80s (and probably earlier).
