My father dropped out of high school, got a job a HP as a line worker (manufacturing oscilloscopes), got married, had 6 kids, 3-4 cars (depending on needs), and a house to fit all those kids. This was in the late 70s-90s (when the last kid graduated high school). Mother didn’t work. We lived comfortably (not wealthy by any means).
My wife and I have 4 degrees between us, both work full time, have a single kid. We live about as well as my parents did.
