No. I am saying that these well made appliances are just as affordable today as they were back then, but most people want the cheaply made alternatives, and manufactured goods were generally less affordable back then than they are now. People generally just had less stuff in the past, and paid more for it. You simply couldn’t buy a new washer for the same fraction of your income as the cheap ones today. A lot of things are worse for us economically than for our parents but this simply isn’t one of them.
That is very nice of you, looking up the numbers stating exactly what i said. thanks.

I understood that. the point you don’t understand is that people today HAVE LESS MONEY than their parents.
Do you know what median means?
