My parents bought their house for $30 000, back in 1978. That was with my dad as the sole bread winner. Today, my mom could easily get $200 000 for it, possibly more. Your dollar just went further back then and there wasn't a need for a second income.
I read something recently and I wish, for the life of me I could remember where so I could cite it, that even with the two incomes most people have these days, we still aren't even close to being as ahead as the baby boomer generation who, the majority of, only had to depend on one income.
That sure is the truth. In my opinion for people in my kids generation having 1 income isn't even an option, unless of course you're making 120k a year on your own
