I mean no disrespect, but over what general time period did you do that?

I’m curious what you’ll find if you were to shop around for current-day prices and add up the costs of the lifestyle you lived (house/rent, car, food, taxes, etc.). Then compare to what a “modest salary” means today.

Many people have done this exercise and come to the conclusion that it’s a lot more difficult now than it was in the past to live a “normal life”. This is by design, of course.
