All right then. If we're going entry level, let's go entry level. That's the Kia Rio LX at $16450[0]. We'll select the column that says "wife not in paid labor force"[1] from the census statistics for 1950 since we're going with solo income so that's $3315.
Let's do the math:
- 2023: 16450/40480 is 40.6%
- 1950: 1386/3315 is 41.8%
Even if it were 42% to 57% that's nowhere near 2 cars comfortably then and not now. And that's not even counting that the Kia Rio is a futuristic marvel compared to the older vehicle.
This other business about the cars being more affordable seems like a total fiction.
