Remember when families needed only one breadwinner because that person earned enough (at an average, ordinary job like file clerking or driving trucks) to support the entire family?50 years ago, little Johnny didn't need designer sneakers, a new video game console every year and 2 cars so that mom could drive the kids to soccer practice. The cost of living rising isn't the reason we have two income households, it's the expectations the household has for the definition of a decent lifestyle. I was brought up in a single income family, and I currently live in one. We never owned a car, we always had cheap clothing, didn't get a VCR until the late 1980's and me and my siblings turned out fine. Oh, and the "breadwinners" back then usually worked more than 40 hours a week and paid less in taxes, which stretched the paycheck further. |
