Yup!  Since the 1960's middle class prosperity has hinged on dual income household partnerships AND being frugal.

No new car, buy a used one and learn to maintain it yerself.  Eat and drink at home most of the time, who can afford

restaurant and pub prices on a regular basis? Vacation?, go camping at a State Park.  Can't afford air fair to Europe

or Cabo or Hawaii and staying in a luxury high rise hotel.  Fairy tale princess weddings?  Nope, get mom and pop to

spend that $40,000 on a wedding gift as a down payment on a home.  Need sunglasses?, Go to the local drug store

instead of buying Maui Jim.  Want a dog?  Adopt one from the pound instead of paying $2000 for a French Bull Dog.


It's all a matter of choices.
