>And have wages really gone down?

If you include things like the cost of

Homes Healthcare *Education

Then wages have gone wayyyy down. And then if you factor in things like employer pension plans back then.. well, crazy further.

Now if the argument is "well we have more luxuries".. I mean, sure.. but it just seems an impossible task to raise a family and pay for home/healthcare/education compared to what it was even 30 years ago.
