That is not entirely true, when you start look at cost vs income then and now there is a lot of important stuff that is WAY more costly now, however the shallow distractions like junk-food, cheap alcohol, mass-market entertainment and what not is likely to be fairly comparable.
Housing, land, vehicles and other things(even certain foods like mammalian meat and fish) that give people independence, strength and real security rather that the false version of it all, now that is massively more expensive for the average-joe with average -joe income...
Ad to that brainwashing people into thinking they have to have a college/university education to feel like a success and like they amount to something and costing the shit out of that avenue also plays a part....
Right about the strength and security that comes from coupling up though, it's not for nothing that most countries will tax married couples more than the same people with the same income when single....
that said, the laziness 'revolution' is a very real thing.....
