We did too. McDonald's was a treat. Chili dogs were a treat. Dad came home with enough for us kids. We were thrilled. Nobody asked you what you want. This is what He brought. Thanks Dad too. We went to 3 movies I think. We went to the Drive In. I'm 75.
Lol feel free to stay out of touch. You just have to look at the math things are not as affordable now as they were back then. Also the world is completely different you can't just send your kids to school and they will thrive at some factory job. You need to be able to provide your kids with tons of opportunities to make them better than their peers to get ahead and afford a good life nowadays. That means paying for extra schooling extra curriculars paying for private school ect...
Didn't they try that on January 6th? And they called it an insurrection. An insurrection without guns or any sort of organisation. Lots of what I saw looked more like a drunken frat party. And just like I figured, the government had people there posing as maga just to bring Trump, as well as the whole movement down, and demonize half the country. The truth is starting to finally come out and Senate hearings but you won't see that shit on TV. Think about it for a minute. Agents employed by government agencies with your tax dollars posed as MAGA supporters with the help of antifa and other radical factions descended upon our capital and intentionally instigated all this madness for nothing more than a photo op. And I'm Senate hearings the head of the FBI would neither confirm nor deny the presence of any FBI agents or assets. Extra security was declined. It is alleged by a guy named Rund that he called Nancy Pelosi three different times. She denies ever receiving a phone call. This guy seemed to be the only one who would give direct straight answers to questions in these hearings. He said something to the effect like we are having our asses handed to us. I believe he may have been a DC cop. I'm not sure which video it was on, but he has something to do with security either in DC or Congress.

If a family has two parents who have to work 40hrs + weekly , come home clean, cook, and raise children at some point something has to break. Either unable raising great children, couple relationship meltdowns, financial difficulties etc something in that equation will not work
That's the whole point of the agenda. Break the families, society gets broken, government steps and wants to "show" what the family structure is to look like.
I live that reality. I’ll take it over being single and alone any day. You avoid melt downs by remembering to appreciate all the little things you’ve got. At the end of the day if no one dies or gets horrible news, its damn good day.
They've been attacking the Constitution for a while now. That's not in support of the American citizens and they should be removed from office immediately. By changing meanings of words and phrases ignoring English, math, science , biology and history and creating classifications with multiple genders gives them some sort of platform and ammunition to fight with which causes division, hatred and chaos. Using the media outlets to promote this propaganda only fuels the fire and nurtures the seeds they plant ultimately brainwashing people 24/7 365 To believe in rumors and lies against Trump and his administration. They are very, very afraid of losing authority, power and control and it would not be bad IF They were properly supporting the American citizens. All they want to do is take our money, time and energy
What children? The new feminism even shuns having children. My niece is getting married in 2027. She's an accomplished woman, her fiance is also working with very good income. Now, she waits 2 yrs for the wedding in order for her to be able to get the most lavish gown and venue (my sister and brother-in-law are actually the payors), which by that time, she would be 30, but also she already said they're not going to have a child. For what is all the wealth between her and her husband then? Then her younger sister said the same thing - though she hasn't had a specific man she's going to marry at this time. I'm sad to hear that.
@@Shushkincorrect but that still does not mention that a lot of places around the world have not negated cultural values and natural duties, woman of other cultures (and I have seen this with my Pakistani Muslim friends) will work but still have children and the men still do a lot of the providing, the issue with our culture is we all want to work minimaly and have pleasure and fun on the weekend, people are more enthralled and captivated by stupid crap then starting a family because family building is hard, working just 40 hours a week living by yourself isn't, so I would say we need to stop teaching young woman to go into debt at 18 with futile education and maybe stop inflating the economy so the average working man can afford a house and food and promote wholesome cultural family values and we might just see happy family's agian and an uptick in birth rates? Or daycare centers can "simulate" mommy and daddy while our divorce rate sits over 40% lul
Such is human condition that left to our worst impulses we seem to use violence. More to do with glorification of military like special forces are now ranked over scientists. And science denialism actively pushed by likes of Rogan.
Jack ma of Ali Baba once said something like, America has spent over 14 trillion in the last 20 yrs fighting wars, and China has been spending trillions on their own infrastructure!!!
I’m saddened that president Trump is almost 80 and can only run for 4 more years because this is how he also thinks, we can only hope he changes everyone’s mind than we should start concentrating on families and law and order and no more meaningless wars.
This is how he also thinks? Then why did spending go UP when he was President? This includes INCREASED spending on the military. Why are you MAGAts so ignorant?
Its because weapon manufacturers and war resource companies and contractors dont make money if theres no wars they make more then most people can imagine
Total US military spending amounts to about 13% of the federal budget. I think the problem is because too many people can claim social services and then they don't want to get a full time job and lose their free health care, food stamps, and subsidized housing.
True but it's even worse; the greed of having ever increasing luxurious lifestyle and the greed of the government borrowing more money to gain more power... It created such a giant debt in every modern country that basic necessities have become too expensive for 80% of the people because of giant inflation.
Life was so much easier and happier then. We were so less stressed. I miss her like my dogs , happy to see me home and not stressing from work. We could both relax in the evening. Her knowing id help when i got home and me seeing and taking care of them. I miss that.
Not arguing that this administration royally screwed things up...but...too many people don't realize (or have conveniently forgotten) that people didn't have as much during those days of milk and honey. And we were satisfied with less. People were lucky to have 1 used car and 1 TV. We got 1 or 2 presents at Christmas or on our birthday. There was 1 phone in the house and 1 bathroom. Lots of kids didn't have a bike, and most people didn't expect to start out with a new (or big) house. A lot of kids wore hand-me-down clothes, and a lot of meals had little or no meat...and eating out at a restaurant was a biannual event. People did without, and a lot of people didn't even have a credit card. Pat is nostalgicly rewriting history.
The economy overall, is in major decline from 40, 50, 60 years ago. Who gives a shit about TVs? My grandma was a widow raising two girls in her house that she bought with her job as a librarian. They had new clothes and real food everyday. Your experience is the exception not the majority. There were way more non working moms than there are today. I'm 49. I grew up in the 80's the cost of living far out paced wages. Is a fact, not an opinion..
Think about it, back then America had less Jews, the more American people struggled the more Jewish billionaires where is the money going they are under paying you and over charging you, they see all of us none Jews as animals that’s why the push everything on us
Interesting take. I think it's probably got more to do with what is considered basic necessities now vs then. What people think they are entitled too now as compared to then. How quickly people think they are entitled to what used to be the luxuries of life. Not to mention the view of most twenty somethings and down that they will always be in debt so why not splurge today. The mindset between then and now is completely reversed, you can't do the opposite and expect the same outcome.
Also, don't forget that the world has become very materialistic and everyone has to buy a bunch of stuff they don't need back then Life was a lot simpler
Agreed! We both work childless by choice and our income is over $160K. We’re not struggling but we’re not well off either. I grew up middle class where my father worked not my mom. We lived a happy life and didn’t worry about money as a child
My solution. When people have kids, the person that brings in more stays working and the other stays home raising the kids. The person bringing in money has to split their pay with the their partner then they both contribute to their livelihood. This will ensure both parents have a financial safety net in case of divorce.
Nope…we both have to work now because when 90% of the women entered the professional workforce it doubled supply, which has cause wages to lag behind. Now add a $300 cable bill & $300 cell phone bill that nobody had 50 yrs ago.
We don't NEED all things things. Plus, families used to stick together. Not everyone going off trying to make it on their own and have big empty houses, to trick themselves into happiness.
Jordan Peterson made an interesting point about this: when feminism caused a lot of women to go to work, it halved the value of labor so then families needed two incomes. In other words, doubling the workforce doesn’t suddenly mean there is twice the amount of work to be done, so therefore labor is less valuable.
True don’t forget also that the pentagon with almost a Trillion dollar budget has not been able to pass an audit in 7 years! Our tax dollars are just going to the defense contractors.
Family of 6, annual gross income 17,000.... think about that 1967. My Cougar 351 , 2 door leather bucket seats. Cleveland engine. New car 1970 was$3000.... I think 3 year loan.
True … I personally have to work my ass off to fund these wars and fueling the killing and destruction of humanity and while leaving all our own social issues of homelessness and all the other issues leaving our own humanity destroyed for what ??? Something’s got to give !!!!

I’m fine with wars vs having 8 kids having to eat beans and vegetables that’s grown in a garden cloths with holes and hand me downs with stains stressing about bills.
Just my father worked back in 1977. He bought a house for $32,000.. sold the house 7 years ago for $20,000. WTF ➡️ Now it's going for $122,000 on today's market❗
Part of the issue is all the activities that exists now compared to the past. People are deciding to have less kids so they can afford to spend money on the opportunities available. Traveling with 2 kids is reasonable, as a family can make a single hotel room work with a standard car. Traveling with 4-6 kids is becomes very problematic due to multiple hotel rooms and rental vehicles to fit more are much more costly. In my estimation, people could afford more kids, but they don’t want the limits presented by more.
Um. The beaches and hotels aren't new opportunities. People aren't avoiding kids because of how many seats are in thier mini van. They cant afford to have kids. Men's fertility is dropping rapidly around the world. There is an epidemic of kids being born with health problems. And the list goes on..What are all of these new activities you mentioned? Faster wifi? The new iPhone? $300 sneakers? $70,000 cars that are defective before they leave the auto plant? What opportunity? Being molested by TSA and crammed into a flying sardine box with mentally ill people? If you aren't paying attention the world is worse now than it was by almost any metric. Sure you can find a statistic to support any view. But if ask anyone if things are better they are lying, brainwashed or in shock or denial..
it's less about the Wars and more about accounting. The Western GDP malaise we are in (and have been since 2007) wouldve occured in the 1980s had women not been sent to work. The 1980s boom was because we sent women to work (more gdp, more taxes) but this meant a day care market was established (more gdp, more taxes) elders had to go to nursing homes (more gdp, more taxes).... compound that ovr 10yrs and you get a boom, compound this over 50yrs and you get bottoming birthrates, high debt and housing prices that now REQUIRE dual incomes to buy a shack next to a Dump.
Divorce laws against men needs to change as well. Child support should be capped instead of a percentage. Both parents need to split everything 50/50. It’s disgusting how the system treats fathers who actually want to be apart of their childrens lives
May, 2 income families are funding WIC, Public school, veteran benefits, and other welfare handouts for people that were healthy, made elective life choices, and ow beg for handouts.
Hm… Korean War, Vietnam War…?!? All happened on that time frame. 1 income families. I don’t disagree with PBD… and there was little to no: Eating out Tech Spend Ongoing monthly expenses Schools were mostly free and good Also, 1 car, typically 1 TV, very little clothes. Very little vacations or very frugal vacations. I’m saying some of that could be there was way less opportunity to spend money.
None of these politicians actually give a shit about their constituents once and desires. They only care about lining their own pockets with money. The system is so corrupt and disgusting. It needs to change.
I believe myself that the reason why we cannot have the life that we used to is because nobody really teaches us how to save money And that really has a lot to do with our financial problems these years I found $200 in my pants that I hadn’t seen in six months and somehow I still managed to survive without those $200 that I needed for that week so that showed me a lot about saving money and the economy
Provided you're not the one inciting it and it's in defense of another country,it's necessary. Otherwise, the larger,stronger countries will become even larger with even more resources and become a threat to you.
Biggest problem is we fund our wars and everybody elses wars as well. And then even after our wars are funded we turn around and pay the people we were fighting billions for fighting them in the furst place. But the thing is this is where millions go missing and is never spoken for but somhow we have politicians that dont make enough to be millionaires but end up being billionaires
@Valuetainment, people are getting into a trend of DINK (Dual Income No Kids) because suddenly the new generation feels kids are expensive and liability.
Me and my spouse both on disability daughter 6 is autistic being forced into section 8 hud cause we can't afford anything at these rates it's like we've been forgotten and nobody gives a crap smh makes my heart sad
We have to fund higher taxes and inflation. Plus pension funds (Government and company's), Workman Compensation, union dues, employment insurance, income tax, properity tax, hidden taxes in gas and products, Good and Service tax, Carbon tax, car payment, car repair and maintenance, clothes, school supplies and fees, insurances (car health and house), rent or mortgage, food, electricity, water and sewage, nursery school, and if one goes to church they want 10% tithe of gross income.
Young people are being realistic about how expensive it is to live and provide for just themselves let alone having children. That’s responsible thinking and decision making.
That's what I keep telling people we cannot afford us millennials.For example, to even rent a place by ourselves, we cannot afford to have a relationship and take your significant other out or pay for daycare or pay for all the expenses.People cannot afford to have families.It's so simple once the economy changes people will have more free time to actually meet other people.Instead of being at work all the time
I am 76 was a stay at home mom. We ate at home, hardly ever went to the movies. I made my daughter’s clothes when she was small. We lived good.

Lol feel free to stay out of touch. You just have to look at the math things are not as affordable now as they were back then. Also the world is completely different you can't just send your kids to school and they will thrive at some factory job. You need to be able to provide your kids with tons of opportunities to make them better than their peers to get ahead and afford a good life nowadays. That means paying for extra schooling extra curriculars paying for private school ect...

I’m fine with wars vs having 8 kids having to eat beans and vegetables that’s grown in a garden cloths with holes and hand me downs with stains stressing about bills.
Just my father worked back in 1977. He bought a house for $32,000.. sold the house 7 years ago for $20,000. WTF ➡️ Now it's going for $122,000 on today's market❗
Part of the issue is all the activities that exists now compared to the past. People are deciding to have less kids so they can afford to spend money on the opportunities available. Traveling with 2 kids is reasonable, as a family can make a single hotel room work with a standard car. Traveling with 4-6 kids is becomes very problematic due to multiple hotel rooms and rental vehicles to fit more are much more costly. In my estimation, people could afford more kids, but they don’t want the limits presented by more.
Um. The beaches and hotels aren't new opportunities. People aren't avoiding kids because of how many seats are in thier mini van. They cant afford to have kids. Men's fertility is dropping rapidly around the world. There is an epidemic of kids being born with health problems. And the list goes on..What are all of these new activities you mentioned? Faster wifi? The new iPhone? $300 sneakers? $70,000 cars that are defective before they leave the auto plant? What opportunity? Being molested by TSA and crammed into a flying sardine box with mentally ill people? If you aren't paying attention the world is worse now than it was by almost any metric. Sure you can find a statistic to support any view. But if ask anyone if things are better they are lying, brainwashed or in shock or denial..
Your mostly right you said some of the things I was thinking
it's less about the Wars and more about accounting. The Western GDP malaise we are in (and have been since 2007) wouldve occured in the 1980s had women not been sent to work. The 1980s boom was because we sent women to work (more gdp, more taxes) but this meant a day care market was established (more gdp, more taxes) elders had to go to nursing homes (more gdp, more taxes).... compound that ovr 10yrs and you get a boom, compound this over 50yrs and you get bottoming birthrates, high debt and housing prices that now REQUIRE dual incomes to buy a shack next to a Dump.
Divorce laws against men needs to change as well. Child support should be capped instead of a percentage. Both parents need to split everything 50/50. It’s disgusting how the system treats fathers who actually want to be apart of their childrens lives
Ask yourself why there is so much divorce first?
May, 2 income families are funding WIC, Public school, veteran benefits, and other welfare handouts for people that were healthy, made elective life choices, and ow beg for handouts.
Hm… Korean War, Vietnam War…?!? All happened on that time frame. 1 income families.
I don’t disagree with PBD… and there was little to no:
Eating out
Tech Spend
Ongoing monthly expenses
Schools were mostly free and good
Also, 1 car, typically 1 TV, very little clothes. Very little vacations or very frugal vacations. I’m saying some of that could be there was way less opportunity to spend money.
That's just a part of it😢
None of these politicians actually give a shit about their constituents once and desires. They only care about lining their own pockets with money. The system is so corrupt and disgusting. It needs to change.
Question....did the problems start when you gave... the vote?
I believe myself that the reason why we cannot have the life that we used to is because nobody really teaches us how to save money
And that really has a lot to do with our financial problems these years
I found $200 in my pants that I hadn’t seen in six months and somehow I still managed to survive without those $200 that I needed for that week so that showed me a lot about saving money and the economy
You're obviously not poor. I know where all my money is and how much is there.
Makes sense. Stop wars.
Provided you're not the one inciting it and it's in defense of another country,it's necessary. Otherwise, the larger,stronger countries will become even larger with even more resources and become a threat to you.
Billionaires need more money right Donnie
That's why we need to shrink are government there are way to many politicians we don't need this any politician that's how curruption starts
This is so true!
Biggest problem is we fund our wars and everybody elses wars as well. And then even after our wars are funded we turn around and pay the people we were fighting billions for fighting them in the furst place. But the thing is this is where millions go missing and is never spoken for but somhow we have politicians that dont make enough to be millionaires but end up being billionaires
APPRECIATE YOU 💯
Hit the nail on its head.
THIS😢😢😢
@Valuetainment, people are getting into a trend of DINK (Dual Income No Kids) because suddenly the new generation feels kids are expensive and liability.
If we can get half the population to call out of work once a month in protest to government spending, the government would lose billions of dollars
There’s been wars before tho. And it was possible for them to have a single income household and not be broke. That’s not it. Maybe part of it.
The billions spent on illegals in just one year could have done so much for the Hurricane victims
Hmmm maybe he's right. What about the rest of the developed world? Nearly in every country a dual income home is a must.
But Pat if we don't fund and fight these wars over seas, we MIGHT have to fight them here. /s
Me and my spouse both on disability daughter 6 is autistic being forced into section 8 hud cause we can't afford anything at these rates it's like we've been forgotten and nobody gives a crap smh makes my heart sad
We have to fund higher taxes and inflation. Plus pension funds (Government and company's), Workman Compensation, union dues,
employment insurance, income tax, properity tax, hidden taxes in gas and products, Good and Service tax, Carbon tax, car payment, car repair and maintenance, clothes, school supplies and fees, insurances (car health and house), rent or mortgage, food, electricity, water and sewage, nursery school, and if one goes to church they want 10% tithe of gross income.
That's true but the houses were smaller and we did more for ourselves. Women did their own nails and men mowed their own lawns.
That's a great point. My income tax is more than my girlfriend's net pay....🤔
Not only funding wars, funding an ever growing government that performs worse than the government before it.
There’s a price to pay for bringing misery to the world under the false guise of freedom, justice and democracy.
Yes, and what about separations between husband and wife because of the pressure. Simple
It’s cuz young people don’t know how to save money or know how to be thrifty
Kinda hard to do when you exist paycheck to paycheck.
@ get a better paying job
So easy to make such smug statements like that. Only comes from a daddy's boy. Aye, bobby?
@@lonniesides9302 no I had ambition and I can handle rejection
Yup especially in California or I would have more kids
It's jacked!
Got here thru...stupid greedy politicians
I love PBD. He’s him and I love what he represents! Salute to PBD
PREACH!!!!!!
Wow that's nuts!!!
They're making it impossible for the average man to prosper and survive and raises family those are just the hard facts
But what can I do?
This can be true. However, for younger people these days having a family is not a priority. They just want to have freedom and fun.
Young people are being realistic about how expensive it is to live and provide for just themselves let alone having children. That’s responsible thinking and decision making.
@@debbiecreter2005 yes that is true for some. However, there are definitely young people who can afford to have children but aren’t.
@ it’s always a personal decision.
I have 3 kids only 1 son has 2 kids the other 2 say no way yo be a woman and have kids and have to work is hard
That's what I keep telling people we cannot afford us millennials.For example, to even rent a place by ourselves, we cannot afford to have a relationship and take your significant other out or pay for daycare or pay for all the expenses.People cannot afford to have families.It's so simple once the economy changes people will have more free time to actually meet other people.Instead of being at work all the time
Has nothing to do with wars the price of apartments & houses went up. Plus food etc!!!!
I agree getting out of wars is the first step towards progress. But war is a billion dollar industry and many are benefited.
No. People just can't afford rent/mortgage, food, and health care
Talk about effing hating the American people! Pure crime, pure crime‼️‼️‼️‼️
