Everyone I know that is older than me said the 1970's was fucking amazing, and things got even better in the 1980's but there was a brief period in the 80's with some economy slowdowns, but overall it was a really good time. If you worked and even bagged groceries, you could afford a house. Those people that bagged groceries in the 1980's are now multi-millionaires from their housing values.
Now, if you just bag groceries, you are making minimum wage and sharing a bedroom in a basement suite with 0 chance of ever saving up for a down payment without eating at dollar stores and investing every dollar you have in the stock market and anything else that can appreciate in value.
