Besides that my parents lived a world apart around the age I am now, I honestly don’t know what their life was like.

    i know that if they worked hard they could get by.

    By worked hard that meant my father, without a college degree, was able to afford:

    • A small 3 bedroom house with a yard.
    • 2 cars.
    • 3rd kid on the way.
    • Wife that was nearly bedridden because of said kid.

    I don’t think that’s even remotely possible today.
