They may not have earned much, but what they earned they were able to keep. Much that that kept money was socked away for a rainy day or for savings devoted to some future goal such as buying a house or setting up shop.

Back in the day you got paid based on how hard you were willing to work. Things have changed a lot since then and people who work all week have nothing to show for it after bills are paid.

It's not easy to break the cycle but i do blame consumerism for a lot of it as back in the day people spent their money on priorities rather than stuff.

The system is rigged against the working class even if they don't help themselves.

It's nt going to be easy to change a culture and mindset.
