Sorry. Yes, I did.

I remember news reports and articles about how we will all have to lower expectations and downsize. It was the era of stagflation.

FWIW, YMMV.

“Remember news and articles” isn’t Math.

The fact there was inflation and high rates does not equate the two situations.
Compare total cost of living v wages then and now. It’s not even remotely close.
