-No wife, live in girlfriend who won't cheat on you and divorce for alimony.

>because people are retarded with their money and spend it all on frivolous shit instead of saving for a car or house

In 1950
>The average new car cost $1500
>The average new home cost $8,450
>The average family income was $3,300

If we account for inflation between 1950 and 2015
>The average new car would cost $14,900
>The average new home would cost $83,400
>The average family income would be $32,900

Instead, today
>The average new car is $33,500 - that's 225% higher than inflation alone
>The average home is $188,900 - that's ALSO 225% higher than inflation alone
>The average family income is $50,500 - that's only 150% higher than inflation alone
>BUT because in most middle and lower class families, both parents work now...
>The average income PER PERSON is only $26,700 - 20% LESS than inflation dictates


Now, I'm not saying there aren't people who are pants-on-head retarded with their money and do stupid shit like leasing all their furniture or eating out four nights a week... but it's also true that the average American is earning 80% of what they ought to be, while simultaneously paying more than twice what they ought to be.

Absurd prices in the city are terrible, but it's a serious problem when people living in small towns can't even afford a decent place to live.

60 years ago my grandfather bought his family a house... in cash.
30 years ago my dad paid off my family's first home in five years.
Today it takes the average family 25 years to pay off a mortgage on a house


Combine that with overpriced autos, overpriced goods and services, lower wages, the death of the nuclear family and the traditional woman...


The American Dream of the 1950s is the life all of us want, but none of us can ever hope to achieve.

Canadafag here.

I have a pretty respectable job but I am still forced to live at home.

Rent in my city is off the rails, with rents beginning in the thousands for a single-room apartment.

I've taken the bus my whole life because there is no way in hell I can finance a car.

I'm very careful with money, and have been my whole life, but this is ridiculous. The only houses being built in my city are $500,000+ CAD McMansions. I just want a shitty small house to raise a family in and not have to pay for it the rest of my life.

I live in a super ordinary neighborhood-- no bad shit like crime. The houses are semi-detached homes and bungalows. The shadiest looking house in the neighborhood sold a few weeks ago for $280,000 CAD.

I will never see a job that offers enough money to live the 'American dream'

I don't even want luxury, I just want to be able to have opportunities to live like a fucking grown up

Have you seen the Ontario Sunshine List? There is no way these people aren't going to keep their jobs for years after they're supposed to retire.

Teachers in Ontario are going to teach until they're corpses because they don't have to retire when they're supposed to. Even the ones who retire stay on the call lists and become substitute teachers while they collect their golden pensions.

There is no more manufacturing in Ontario. It all got outsourced in the 1990s. There is no more graphic design or computer science or programming in Ontario because it was all outsourced in the 2000s.

Also

>Study for a job

Don't go to university in Canada if you want a job-- go to college. The biggest downside is that a lot of management positions or positions you'd want to move up into at the job require a degree-- the system is now designed that you should attend both university AND college.

Double the debt!

Exactly - even in families fortunate enough to have two parents, both parents are basically forced to work to make roughly the same as what one breadwinner would have made for his family in the 50s.

>There is no way these people aren't going to keep their jobs for years after they're supposed to retire.
Which is a problem here in the US as well. You've got an entire generation that's trying to enter the workforce now and nobody's hiring... why waste time and effort training new employees when you've got workers with 20, 30 years experience who can't or don't want to retire?

also if americans were more open towards high speed rail instead of letting theirselves be fooled into believing that air travel is all america needs, the same mode of transportation that's unreachable to a large segment of the population simply because they can't afford it, then americans can viably live in smaller less expensive towns or smaller cities and commute to work by train to the larger cities.

but then again what's the fun in that when you can ride a plane and say everyone on the ground is ants because you think you're hot shit for being able to fly economy class on some low budget airline with 6 inches of legroom

The difference is, 60 years ago you could BUY a house outright. No down-payments, no mortgages. It was actually feasible for a man to save up enough to pay for a new home in full.

That's not remotely feasible anymore. You get a mortgage, you pay your monthly - sure it's less than renting but it's getting rarer and rarer for anyone to ever actually pay off their home in full.
