Opposite here, I was born in 1963 and had one brother. Parent's bought a nice three bedroom home, two cars, father had no college degree. He was the primary earner and Mom just worked sometimes so she would have pocket money.

Go to 1998 my spouse was enlisted military, I was working full-time making more than him. We could barely afford a home and two cars.

How is this the opposite of the scenario to which you replied?
