But the bar of "comfortably" keeps getting raised. 60 years ago, it was generally a given that your family had one car, and would manage to save up enough to buy their first three-bedroom house by the time the kids were 7-10 years old. That was middle-class; that was "comfortable." Now most people would call that poor, to only be able to afford one car.
