@Lostpoet Primarily because we had a profitable war. There are a lot of folks who would have swapped the two-car garage for the lives of their brother or son or father.
Money was easier to make because there weren't so many restrictions on how it was made. Those restrictions have resulted in some good changes.
We also didn't 'need' as much as you do now, because there wasn't so much to need.

@Mamapolo2016 I don't need much either it just seems like we work all day and end up with nothing but a Netflix account and a one bedroom apartment.

@Lostpoet That's how it was then when we started. Without the Netflix account.
Nearly every new advance adds to the price of goods. Right down to tamper-proof packaging.
But many men didn't expect perfect women and many women didn't expect wealthy men. Times change. Most did not expect to work 37.5 hours a week and prosper. We worked some ferocious hours.
