    A lot of those shows have aged pretty badly in terms of what “struggling” looks like. The idea of a boring office job being some awful fate is also kinda dated.

    At least shows like the Simpsons were self aware about this.

      A boring office job is an awful fate, we should bring that perception back!

      The Bundys had a one income household, where dad was working minimum wage at a shoe store and he could feed and clothe his kids, have a big house, a car, and all the adventures they pulled. You couldn’t even feed yourself on that income these days
