In the mid-60s and early 70s people also did not have multiple cell
phones (one for each family member), cable/satellite TV, satellite
radio, "starter" homes the size of small castles, home entertainment
centers, or 2 brand new cars (one an SUV) in the driveway. Today
these are all looked at as "necessities", and they consume what would
otherwise be disposable income.

The real disposable income for equivalent lifestyle has significantly
diminished for the dwindling middle class.
