I don't know why you're claiming middle class people used to get a new car every year. It used to be that a man with a high-school education could provide fairly well for his family as the sole breadwinner. But a new car every year is fantasy.
- refurb 4y agoI know plenty of people who live off one income, not always but usually the father. They’re usually people working trades in the mid-west, but they own a nice house, have cars, and savings in the bank. It’s still possible. But it seems like few people are interested in those careers or living in those locations any more. Usually because neither is prestigious enough. If everyone wants an office job that pays enough to live in a trendy HCOL coastal city - yeah, a single income with high school only won’t cut it.
- ncmncm 4y agoA new car every year is fantasy today. It was a commonplace for upper middle class, before. A wage-earner could be comfortably lower middle class. A professional could be upper-middle.
