Did you know food used to be pretty much half of a paycheck? Now food is dirt cheap because of mass production.
It's never all black and white.

The true problem nobody talks about is emancipation. 
When there was 1 dude working for a woman and 8 kids, the prices reflected that. Then they start pushing women into the workfield which results in higher household incomes - and resulting in higher pricing for products as a logical result. 
It's simple economy. 
It's not boomers that ruined it, it's gen X and partially Y that did. If we'd be stubborn and all live on 1 wage with 5 kids again, prices would have to reflect that or nobody would be able to buy shit.
I'm sorry to blackpill you, but that's the real truth.
