JA WestenbergYour grandparents bought a house on a single income. You have a master's degree and three roommates. But at least you can summon any song ever recorded in 2 seconds, so it evens out?
Blender Dumbass ( J.Y.Amihud )@Daojoan Wait until they would say that a personal house ( no roommates ) creates too much privacy. Which is dangerous for one reason or another. lol
Allan Haverholm@blenderdumbass @Daojoan "Anybody who needs private space is probably either a pedophile or a terrorist, or both"
craignicol@Daojoan I've got several CDs that aren't available on streaming platforms except for pirate copies on YouTube. So even that part isn't the golden future.
W6KME@Daojoan *Any song ever recorded only as long as it is still available from one of three record company conglomerates. Otherwise it never existed.

Can't speak for other families, but all of my grandparents had to work. My grandmother had to put her infant in daycare so she could return to pressing shirts. Another grandmother took a job after high school to support her siblings. Throughout history, most families needed 2 or more earners to survive - it's just that women & children's work either assisted the male "bread earner" or was low paying/invisible.

Kristaps Liepins@SheriSwears @Daojoan My grandmothers were house wives and my gradfathers worked their asses off to support their families. My wife earns more and is the "breadwinner" but I built a house for the family. Mostly on my own. Because I can.
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@Daojoan My grandparents ordered theirs from the Sears and Roebuck catalog, and had it delivered on the train. LoL
Carlos SolísI inherited my house from my dad, who in turn inherited it from my grandpa, who in turn got the terrain for cheap in exchange for some cows. Things were indeed much easier back in the day.
Lstn2urmama 🇨🇦@Daojoan It's the domino effect of the ALL MIGHTY dollar that continues ballooning THRU HISTORY OF THE WEALTHY ... 👎👎👎👎 🚨☠🚨
Chateau Brackish@Daojoan I think you need to preface grandparents with “some”. Most couldn’t buy and had to rent. Waiting lists for council housing were decades long too. Many grandparents had to rent from awful landlords, in my grandoarents day.
Ashwin DixitI used to completely believe that Big-Brother-whitewashed TV-pushed narrative of America, until I heard Ron question it, without supplying his version of the truth. Ron is a 70+ tough-looking biker dude covered with tattoos, including one that reads: "AmeriKKKa".
Life was easy back then it seems to us, with a single earner providing a comfortable lifestyle for a whole family, only because we don't take the African-American perspective into account, largely suppressed through history.
