Your 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?

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.
@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.
