[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle class 50 years ago was a small ugly house with road trips to the beach as a summer vacation and sending the kids to public school. [/quote] This is true, but middle class fifty years before that still used outhouses. Each generation has seen progress until the most recent one, and there was this promise of new technology and advancements, and it does feel like a bag of goods that lifestyles have stalled. Work hours, time on home chores, etc. have gone up; cost of living has increased faster than wages. We are very fortunate with a 450K HHI in the midwest, bought our home 8 years ago, etc. We have 3 kids and enjoy a great quality of life with ample saved for college and retirement. But I feel for those just starting out. Things are getting harder instead of easier.[/quote]
