Kids today marvel how past generations were able to afford to buy houses, and raise families.
It was stuff like that. And not buying $8 Latte's, any kind "Pay TV", PERIOD, (much less seven different services) or $200 athletic shoes, that got em out of their parent's basements.
Really hit me the other day, watching an ad for some app that finds reoccurring deductions for things you don't even realize you HAVE, much less use, in order to delete them. It's like an demo for how we figured out a way for kids to not ever be responsible for your own existence.
