The can buy maybe 3 things on that list in any given year. The point is the middle class in the past, say the 1960's, bought all 10(well maybe not anew car every year) of those things every year. I can verify that. My parents did that in the 1960's.
More lies. They can afford ALL of them in a year. And claiming they can’t is just silly.
They did it on one salary too. My dad was a cowboy in the 1960s, nobody does that for the money. We made a trip every year to my grandfather’s ranch in Colorado for Christmas. My mother would take us with her on the train to visit her family in Missouri once a year too. We got a new pickup every 4 or 5 years. They had the money if one of us needed to the doctor/ER. They also had medical insurance. We also went to the movies.
What happened?
