It is well documented that actual purchasing power has been declining since the 1970's. Inflation hides it because salaries keep rising, but the middle class has taken a huge pay cut because their money doesn't go as far.
At the same time, I see armies of brand new RVs towing trailers with ATVs every summer, and I wonder how the hell people are affording those. I'm pretty well off and I wouldn't even consider such extravagance. Either I'm just seeing the most well-off people on the highway or their in debt to the gills buying all that crap on credit.
I read something that said that wages have doubled since the 70s but the cost of living has gone up six-fold.
