I remember when you could have an amazing night out in the 90s with only 100 bucks and still have money left over the next day.

Yeah. I also thought an 80k salary would be living the rich life. The gravy train derailed a long time ago and instead of fixing the track they keep sending more trains.

My dad made $30k/year in the 90s as a house painter and their house cost $99k in a safe white suburb. The much larger waterfront houses near us were $300-400k

In 2006, I knew this recent college grad that got a 60k a year job and everybody was shitting their pants like oh my god that's so much money. Now, they expect you to work for 10k+ a year less than that and they act like you're an ungrateful piece of shit because you won't accept 2005 wages kek
