This is true and not true. Today the middle class family has more, and expects more then they did 50 years ago. My grandfather was an engineer, and made pretty decent money, but my grandparents lived in a smaller house then I have, only had one car, no TV, DVD player, cell phones, computer or internet, etc.. Probably the worst is the charge it mentality. Paying credit card interest makes everything much more expensive.
