I earn twice as much as my Dad did at the height of his career and he was able to save for a mortgage and have 4 children and take care of our Mom while paying off the mortgage. I couldnt dream of doing that

I make 3x my hourly wage than I did 8 years ago. I have a sim contract and little car and the same hobbies. Yet I have less disposable income now than I did then.
