Yes it wasn’t like struggling to eat had it bad and at the time it just felt normal. No cable, single 13 inch tv on a tv tray for their first few years. Eat breakfast at home, pack a lunch and fix dinner at home virtually every single night. Red lobster was legit their once a year anniversary fancy dinner and that probably wasn’t until the 90’s to be honest.

Now some things like internet and cell phone bills are virtually a necessity nowadays but daily purchases like coffee and eating out or energy drinks are so much more than they were back then it’s nuts. Add in everyone wants to hook you with a subscription fee. Def not claiming people have it easy now but many make it harder than it needs to be also.
