... today a dual income family barely makes ends meet while in the 1950s a single income allowed people to own their house outright and have a vacation home.

That's dual income, college educated, professionals in most case. Yes, I believe the majority of the parents I have been meeting on return to school are exactly in this boat. Amazing. I am such an anomaly : single income family and a home owner.

I didn't do that off my salary either. I just got stupid lucky in tech (stocks). The new college hires today I don't think have a prayer to have something similar happen to them.

Edit: Loagn's convinced we are all going to be mega rich selling each other coffee and Chinese food though.
