IMO, people today are much better off financially than previous generations

Fewer real pensions also.

I like that I own my 401k

Not as good as a defined benefits pension.

Archaea

Pensions are an unsustainable mistake in almost all instances.

Every time I hear that word, it reminds me of Illinois, where I lived for 15 years

I disagree, my state pension is amazing. 20 years in the dungeon and I’m living

Yes it’s great for you. But unsustainable for the payor…

The issue is a combination of over promising and under funding. Illinois is a good example of both problems. The state

Guess they should have thought of that before becoming the payer

I love my pension. It was worth the years of work.

I love that I have both. It meant staying at the same company for 30+ years, but looking back it was so worth it

What about the cost of tuition?

TNT

4/15/23 10:44pm

And the value of said education

Looks like it's stayed relative the same over the years

CSoul

You realize that only goes to 2010

TNT

4/15/23 10:51pm

I mean it has to bake out so you can't have it up to this year. Not some oversight.

To be clear, I believe current University education is too expensive, but it still has a ton of value.

But more diverse work options are spreading out the population a little more.

I grew up on a .25 acre lot in a subdivision. I now live on 2 acres in a rural neighborhood.

Cool story.

I disagree. A family used to be able to have a home, cars, etc…off one income.

idcougarfan

And the generation 50 years ago could talk about how much cheaper it was in 1925

Acorn

4/16/23 6:44am

When we talk about things being cheaper, we don't mean dollar amounts.

rtNelson

4/16/23 7:15am

Yep. Just like 1925 versus 1975. That was my point.

Acorn

Would any self-respecting student live in 1970s-like digs or go to ‘70s college?

But there was a reason so many families only had one wage-earner at home. Women

You forgot to Google interest rates. Look at the entire decade.

The part that gets ignored in those numbers is the location of homes. As time goes on, new builds have to be in less and

Acorn

I agree, but with population growth there’s no way around it. The US has 100 million more people today than in 1980

Unless you want a house, education, or healthcare for children it's great. Cheap

Shrinking yards are a function of larger population numbers, not bad policy

I see it as a function of: a) price trade-off of bigger house vs larger yard; b) Lack of desire to maintain a yard c)
