I’m so old I remember when fifty thousand a year was super wealth! Fifty thousand was enough to start a car dealership rather than the price of a single low end new car or a high end used car. Fifty thousand would support a family very well for TEN years rather than just scraping by for ONE year.
Me too!!
Just 30 years ago, I would’ve thought this to be MORE than enough. But in this day and age, thanks to government meddling, we still have to be very careful to make ends meet with one child to raise..
