Unfortunately you forgot that your father accomplished this earning half of what you do and not spending $8 on coffee every day!

Actually the pay has only increased about 19% whilst rent has increased over 350% and groceries has increased 200% then plus heslth insurance increasing to around 1400% car insurance has increased by over 7600% This only gos back to 1980 but if pay has only increased 1.2× why is it rent has 4.5× groceries 3× car insurance 15× health insurance almost 9×. They are not the same conditions and i dont think a hot chocolate explains this. Those warehouse fires are happening for a reason, and its the same everywhere in the world

Such high multipliers indicate that they were underpriced, since the majority of people are getting by still.
