I think more correct would be, they want the same lifestyle that they think their parents had growing up. I know an older couple, same age as my parents, they take their entire family on vacations and have a very nice house. They talk about how when they started out they made their own furniture out of paper mache. My parents had a similar lifestyle, things were not easy then either.

The house price to average income ratio has become much worse over time in most "developed" economies. There is a mountain of good enough cheap products now due to global supply chains, but you have to stuff them into a tiny flat/apartment. Sitting on a papier-mâché chair in a well sized home is by far the better situation.
