<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 1842332, member: 41780&quot;]This is all very true.&nbsp; The standard of living has increased immensely since 1900.&nbsp; The problem seems to be that, despite these technologies, the standard has dropped since around 1970 or so.&nbsp; If only one adult in a household was needed to work and support the family (of 4 or more), that was a big, big deal as far as I can see.&nbsp; That means the average wage carried a person twice better than today.</p><p><br /></p><p>But despite real wages sagging, technological breakthroughs have offset poorer working conditions.&nbsp; So, overall, perhaps things are not that much worse today than even when the Boomers were growing up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
