    Whats insane is we used to. My janitor dad and homemaker mom afforded a five bedroom, three bathroom house with full basement, workshop, seperate dining room, living room, breakfast nook, kitchen. it was dillapitated sure but not to an unlivable level. Massive porch.

      See, that just seems comical to me. Completely unreasonable to the degree that I can’t even imagine that being true unless there was some other factor you’re failing to mention.

        I am not. my dads folks died when he was young and was supporting the family before he went to high school. He never completed junior high. He was a brick layer at one point and that paid pretty well so that might be the one caveat but still we have fallen big time middle class wise. he was definately working class.
