It was affordable if you wanted to be a slave until you are 70 and work and grind. It wasn't worth it to me. There are many golden ages in western culture, but all of them were extinguished by the time I was born.
Okay well now you're saying a different thing. When was the time that "working class" didn't work and grind until they were 70? Unless we're going back to the time where people didn't live to be 70....
Also you've lamented many times how much you hate that you work so much, you actually work two jobs. So it sounds like you are living that life anyway....which way do you want to go on this?
