Those on this board speaking of their difficulties may very well be making comparatively less than what your parents made, or once again maybe there is only the one income vs two.

And you say you turned out fine...I would have to disagree..one word NICKELBACK.
I've seen people say a yearly income of $50k isn't enough to raise one child. :-)

Yes, there were 2 incomes as a whole but each parent only had access to their personal income. The other parents income had absolutely no bearing on the others. Mom had to pay rent, electricity, car, food, "stuff", etc. Dad did too. Like I said, it was essentially 2 different lives I had. The only one thing less was insurance, my mom didn't have to pay for our insurance because we were covered under my dad... and maybe you could consider food because we only ate with each parent half of the week. But still, overall, only one income.
