Food is cheaper, more plentiful and comes in more variety now.
Healthcare is much better and more people have access to more treatments than ever before.
You really could go on and on. Even if real wages have stagnated for the working class, modern technology and the convenience that comes with it has made life soooo much better for the large majority of people. The can buy more with their wages, stagnant or not.

Lower quality food is cheaper, higher quality food is less accessible. > Healthcare is much better and more people have access to more treatments than ever before. Healthcare is better if you can get it. Yes, there are more treatments available, for some, but there are more without access.
