       @FluentInFinance And how many extra people in the family are working to earn that “median family income in the U.S.” that’s gone up so much but not as much as everything else like houses and cars? 🤔

       @Su_G @FluentInFinance This. It was normal then for only the husband to work. Now that's very rare.

       @FluentInFinance I'd push back on the car one a little bit. Cars were crap. If your car lasted 5 years or 100,000 miles it was extraordinary. Now cars are expected to do 12 years/250k or it's a lemon. They're a lot safer too and even the ICE ones emit far less pollution per mile.
