$38k in the 80s was a pretty decent wage. Hardly poor. $38,000 in 1985 would be roughly $87,000 today. That's solidly within middle class. http://www.investope

- bluejekyll 10y agoI did not intend to imply that my family was poor, only that we struggled with that income in suburban PA. The reason I posted that is because I find it very difficult to believe that any family of 1 or more children on an income of 40k a year today would have a comfortable life, and affording broadband Internet would be difficult.
