How about "income" instead of salary?
I know that we were very well off growing up with 2 parents that had decent jobs and 4 kids. Now, I have a very good job and my wife has a great gig as a consultant and we definitely don't have the same standard of living that my parents had when I was a kid. And I only have one child, to boot. The costs of goods and services have increased faster than wages, and now we just have a lot more bills to pay. What kind of extra money would you have in your bank account if you didn't have to pay for cable, cell phones, internet service, satellite radio, custom plugs, etc....
