Don’t forget 5 dollar Starbucks lattes every god damn day.Because they went out to eat like 4 times a year, mended their clothes rather than buying new ones, didn't do drugs and only drank alcohol occassionally.
Basically they spent all their money on their mortgage.
My parents were the same way well into the 2000s. They just didn't spend money the way our generation does.
I have no idea..maybe the family unit was stronger then..helped each other out moreHow come the guy on the average salary in 1967 could afford a half decent house and a car, with his wife not working, while raising two kids?
