[quote=Anonymous][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).

Not in the middle class. Ever. Most of my middle class friends had some parental help but still took loans even for instate schools. The fact that you think this IS the problem. [/quote]
