We all had a picnic growing up and don't know struggle.
Happy now?
I have had to help one of my children out to pay medical bills now that he has a child and his wife is no longer working and I know one wage doesnt cut it anymore unlike when I was a child and most families were single wage households.
The thing that has changed dramatically is the gap between rich and poor and how even on two decent incomes a family can still struggle to keep their head above water in todays modern society and how a University education is no guarantee of being able to cope with the cost of modern living and thats something I acknowledge that Boomers wouldnt have experienced.
