Something that seems to be omitted from all this are the additional costs that individuals now “have to” include in monthly expenses that didn’t exist in 1985: internet, cellphones, subscriptions, etc. Not to mention the fact that in order to spend money in 1985 one had to get in their underwhelming car, drive to the store, and look for an item. Now we’re blasted with ads everywhere and merely need to reach into our pockets and swipe a few times to spend our money.
