<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vlaha, post: 1842116, member: 56398&quot;]You have to remember that people have a lot more than in 1900.&nbsp; Did they have smart phones?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Did they have cars (I don&#039;t mean the existence, but the near requirement of owning or renting one.)? No.&nbsp; Were they required to have health and car insurance?&nbsp; No.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you see, while your inflation numbers might stack up people have, and spend, much more than in 1900. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>...And then smart phones, tablets,&nbsp; high tech cars, and the elimination of cheap housing happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my point here is that people think they need a lot more than they did in 1900, not that your point of view is stupid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
