Getting real tired of the Boomer crowd telling me,
"We got by on one income and raised a family".
"You guys just always need the best and that's why you're in debt"
"You Father's income wasn't very much but we managed to buy our home"
"Interest rates were 20% and your mom could still stay at home and raise you kids"
"Both parents don't need to work today. You're just too greedy with material items is all and you need to choose, raise your kids or have newest phone."
I've looked at the CPI calcs and what salaries were back in 1980s and 90s vs today and I don't think I'm off base with saying, they could not do it the same as today. No a chance unless it was a basement suite rental in NE Calgary or Airdrie.
Discuss.
Show off the tables or stacked bar charts you know that show Canadians are in deep now compared to 80s & 90s.
