Some times I feel like I was born too late,82. It must have been nice to be able to just live life with out all the BS we have to put up with now. And thank you FL Scott, I feel pretty good about 24 to 1 now.
No matter what era you were from there was ALWAYS BS to contend with. It was just a different kind.
In the 1950's we had only 1 car and Dad took it to work. Mom stayed at home. Friday night they went shopping. Dates with the car were few and far between.
The house only had 1 phone - in the kitchen on the wall. Try to call a girlfriend with Mom and Dad only a few feet away.
Dad pay for college? Yeah right. Not enough money in the house for that. I personally worked a full time job while in college.
Medical insurance? Sure. Dad's job payed for it 100%. They called it Major Medical. If we got sick Dad payed for everything. It was only good for a catastrophy.
I know a lot of 1982 somethings that had ALL of the luxuries (cell phones, cars, trips to FL on Winter break, etc.) In many ways life is much easier today.
