Yes, you live better than people 100 years ago. But what about 40 or 20 years ago?
Is it easier for an average person to buy a home or car than it was for their parents? Do they work more or less from their parents? Is it easier to have and raise kids?

But houses are diff, the place I grew up in saw a 50x price increase. It is hard to buy houses there. To the point where renting is a better investment than buying (not a absolute, obviously), and makes you think that people overvalue property there, the interest rates are insane. But most statistics are going downward trend, crime for instance, its going down in all developed countries.
