>making just enough to raise a family like we did 100 years ago
The average income 100 years ago was about $5,000, which adjusted for inflation would be about $100k today. The median household income today is $80k. In other words, people made 25% more 100 years ago than today.
An average new home 100 years ago was around $5k-$10k, which adjusted for inflation would be about $100k-$200k. The average home value today is $500k. In other words, homes cost 1-2 years of a typical salary 100 years ago whereas today they cost 6-7 years of a typical salary.

Shut the fuck up.
>median **household** income today is $80k
So it's actually something like $40k per person. If you want your wife to be able to stay home and raise the kids, call it 12-14 years.
Pretty big difference, no?
