Standard of Living – Risen?
Posted by: Adam Meredith on 06 July 2005
Back in my Dad’s day (1800) one working parent could possibly afford to pay the mortgage or rent on a family home.
Now – with both sexes liberated to work – it takes all a couple’s efforts to … pay the mortgage on a family home. Added to that the cost of having your estranged children looked after and you have – wealth and happiness?
Supermarkets have introduced us to the hell of cheap food. Like some communist state cheap basic food, (contents: water, air and cheap fats) Chinese made electronic goods allow the cost of production to be kept “competitive”.
Or is just that I have hit 95?
