FIFY.
Used to families shared 1 car. There were no cell phones, and all the other luxury items.
Inflation has definitely put a huge pressure on the middle class. There is no doubt about that.
There is also no doubt that people lack the self control to live within their means. Both things are true.

For some sure. But for most, its normal bills and housing costs that are sinking them. If someone can't get a cup of coffee or buy lunch once a week are they really middle class? Which is my point. The middle class is all but dead. You either have enough wealth to enjoy small luxuries in life or you are poor. There really is no in between.

This just simply isn't true. People live entirely out of their means. 2 paychecks with 2 decent paying jobs is at minimum ~120k/year but the middle class also finances $350,000 homes, 90k denali yukons and sierras, travel ball, gymnastics, private school, lsu season tickets, a boat, and 4 vacations to destin a year.
That's why they are pay check to pay check.

Having cell phones is a small luxury. Having 3, or more in a family is a bigger luxury.
2 cars= luxury.
More clothes than you need?- luxury.
Multiple TVs in a single home? Luxury
Internet in your home -luxury
iPhones/tablets/laptop computers, streaming services, -luxury
Travel ball/sports/etc- luxury.
Most people don’t consider these things luxuries, because everyone has them. That’s exactly my point- the standard of living now, vs the standard of living 40-50 years ago, is massively different, and eats up a lot of income.
When someone is “poor” but still has a phone, internet, multiple streaming services, multiple cars….
Idk what more you could want for an “in between”

Mom & Dad look like one of those "SEC Couple" memes.

Luxuries don't eat up nearly the income that they used to. "Essentials" eat up a much MUCH larger portion of one's income than they did 40-50 years ago.
Buying a TV in the 80s was the equivalent of like 2-3 months of rent. Buying a TV today is the equivalent of about 5 days of rent. Go one down this list. Internet in your home, cable TV, landlines, etc etc. Basically any electronic technology is absolutely dirt cheap compared to what it was 40-50 years ago. Whatever effect that has on an individuals personal finances pales in comparison to the effect that insurance, rent/mortgage/education/healthcare/utilities etc have.
The fact that so many people cannot grasp this concept should be studied and analyzed to find out what it is in the human psyche that does not allow them to comprehend and retain this information.

Amen to that shite right there.
This is dumb as shite, and only further coddles the most coddled generation in history. Raising them to think that dropping big money on inconsequential shite like this is part of the reason they suck fiscally as much as they do. And I’m not talking about inflation or “boomers hoard the money!” dumb shite. I just mean they are very financially irresponsible. And shite like this is why.

we are living until we are 80. No one needs to have kids until well after 24-25, don’t bring kids into the world until you have laid a foundation. And he is a she.
I may very well give my kids the same advice. It's a realist take, but isn't this kind of sad? That it takes into your 30s to "lay a foundation" capable of supporting a family.
We waited until our 30s and we live comfortably, provide for the kids, etc. However, if I had been comfortable getting started 10 years earlier, my kids would know their grandmother. I would have a better chance of getting to see grandkids of my own.
None of this is natural. Its not the way we were meant to live.
Lastly, do people spend recklessly? Sure. But medical bills and insurance, even for healthy children, is fricking astronomical and that cannot be denied.

I know someone who’s paying a “sorority coach” for their daughter rushing at bama right now.
Talk about retarded.

When I see people spending $20k on interior designers for a dorm room it makes me think that maybe, just maybe, the Democratic Socialists of America might actually be right.

So vote for people who want the govt dictating every aspect of our lives? Yeah that’ll solve everything.

That's why they are pay check to pay check.
Other than owning my home (I paid less than $350k). None of those apply to me or most that say we are struggling to keep up.
Again, my point isn't that no one can make it or that some don't make poor decisions. Its that the middle class isn't really the middle class anymore. Middle Class people should be able to buy a house, a car, and have their kids play sports. Like you mentioned, that's out of the budget for what used to be the middle class. The middle class doesn't exist anymore.
