🏡 Why does life feel so much more expensive today? Back in the 1960s, one income was often enough to buy a home, raise a family, and live comfortably. Fast forward to 2026… 💸 👨👩👧👦 Two incomes are often needed just to get by. 🏡 Housing takes up a much bigger portion of household income. 🚗 Car payments, childcare, groceries, and everyday expenses keep adding up. 💰 Even with two people working full-time, buying a home can feel out of reach.
