At the age I am now my parents already had 7 kids that they could barely afford.
I currently have zero kids but one on the way.

So hard to say. My parents lived in a nice home that cost $25K (or something).

Not sure why it is so hard to compare. Compare salary, standard of living, etc.

This is very hard. Bills are so much different now. Not just inflation

Real wages haven't moved much since we were children, and boomers have lived
