[QUOTE="wing2000, post: 77660306, member: 314005"] I grew up (late 60's, 70's) in a 1200 sq foot home with 1.5 bathrooms with no A/C and thought we lived in a nice house. There was one landline phone ($6 a month) one 19" TV with rabbit ears, a well for our drinking water and a large garden. Going to McDonalds (or any fast food place) was rare. Nicer restaurants - rarer still. My mother did not work outside the home until the kids were nearly gone and my dad worked at a Mack Truck engine factory, with good benefets including health care (thanks to the UAW). When dad came home, he was off work - no after hours calls (or text, IM's etc to the work mobile phone . Sunday was a day of rest and recreation. Times were simpler. Our material expectations were lower. And, IMO, we were happier as a society. [/QUOTE]
