    I’m going to guess good old days is probably more possibility of getting a job that provided you with enough income to also buy a house and live comfortably. Maybe not have to take out decades long loans if you are able to get a mortgage and not get into massive debt if you decide to pursue education, and it actually made you stand out due to there not being a huge over saturation of university grads.

    Assuming based off what is considered a failure according to The Simpsons during the early seasons. Homer the big failure making enough single income to have a two story home and car and kids and a dog and cat off a high school education with a regular salary man job. And the baby boomers with their properties.
