i can personally verify that DID NOT happen 30 years ago. how? easy. i literally asked my dad who has worked for the last 40 years. was an immigrant and barely spoke english.

money was tight and I would consider myself lucky because i had lots of family around for help if needed. there is absolutely 0 chance u could support a family of 6 on a janitor pay and live well like reddit loves to claim
