Yeah. The two income households came first. Inflation doesn't happen for no reason. It happens because everyone gets more bits of paper so everything costs more bits of paper because there are only so many things.

There's a huge tax advantage to living in a two income house. Two people earning 30k each will pay significantly less tax than one earning 60k. It's very difficult to raise a family with one income now and it's tragic. Women are wasting their lives do menial make-work instead of the one thing they all want to do sooner or later but should have done sooner. We're failing our women by making them work.
