NEWS YOU CAN USE: You Can Return To 1950s America Any Time You Want. “To be blunt, if you want to return to the 1950’s that means a one income household. One person is going to go out and make the money, the other is going to keep the home and raise any would-be children. This means you have to major in the right thing and today 2/3rds of American students major in worthless, unemployable slop. So it is vital you choose the right profession. . . . This translated into budgets that were mere fractions of what people spend today, but even more shocking to modern Americans, families in the 50’s had money left over. This frugality required living in homes that had 1/3rd the square footage of today’s modern homes, owning only one car, taking the bus, children sharing rooms, cutting coupons and budgeting, hemming and darning clothes, and not outsourcing your children to daycare. . . . Thankfully today’s housing technology allows you to buy more home for the same inflation-adjusted dollar and automotive technology allows you to afford more than one car.”
