No,if you wanted to have a 1950s quality of life, you could do so on 15hrs or less today. Just give up your indoor plumbing, washer/dryer, AC, etc etc

We had indoor plumbing in 1950s. Giving up the washer saves a days salary.

This is a new one. I usually see we are better off than in the Fifties because they had fewer entertainment options, or inanities like that. But you posit they didn't have plumbing?

What washer/dryer do you propose buying so that the savings compensate for the inflation in health care, housing, and education?

Sure if I can buy real estate too at 1950s prices!
