that stat fails to account for the point that during that 40 year span, it was nana and papa paying into that SSN system
not the yet unborn, educated, and ungrateful millennials and gzenrs of today. I love how people use statistics to say whatever they want, and people accept it like it's science. It is not. People who are in their 60s-70s- and 80s built this country and made the affluent (by comparison) lifestyles of today's 30-40s possible.

All you have to do is look at the difference in vehicles being driven, the size of homes, how many televisions each home has, the fact every person over 10 has a cell phone, that families don't just travel to the local campground, or from Provo to SLC, or Brigham to Ogden, they go to Hawaii, Cozumel, Asia and more.

Just look at the discussions on CB, 20-30 years ago, I could never have planned such lavish vacations, there was not time, I was part of that workforce building the modern affluent lifestyle that the average HS grad or college kid thinks is a 'given'.
