That was basically my family growing up. To be honest I don't know how my parents did it. They didn't make much.

I feel like for us to live in the same size house with 3 kids today me and my wife would have to make 5x what ny parents did.

My family loved that show, but none of the kids on it were normal, and neither were the parents.

Most everything that family did the OT would call trashy, and they'd damn sure call the dad a cuck because the mom ran shite in that family and he was "weak".

There are millions and millions of wage earners who are living well. It’s absurd to say it’s impossible to live on wages these days.

You’re such a defeatist lib cuck these days.

People spend way more money now. Lavish trips, expensive cars, travel sports, every kid has a mobile device, etc etc. Combine that with the cost of Louisiana insurance and you have your answer.

Is it negative causal factors or is it simply lack of incentive?
