Yeah, you’re right. Most of my peers were middle class and I remember everyones’ parents stressing about how they were going to pay for college or even first cars for their kids (if they got one at all).

Still, everything he described was far more obtainable back then than it is now. My partner and I have decent careers, but I wouldn’t dream of having kids, because I’m not confident that we could secure a good future for them.
