ELI5: How it is possible that before 2. world war only men worked and still earned enough for whole family when today we have whole families (mom, dad, child) working and barely survive?

I asume that then capitalists were paying their workers fair (and actually care for them) instead of minimum required and rather buying 5 rolls royces, couple of yachts and jets like today? Speaking for the majority then and now. Can be?

People don't realize that our "quality of life" is significantly better than during that era.

Even 20 years ago, we didn't pay for cell phone, internet, cable. Cut that out? That's $200 a month minimum.

Even 20-30 years ago, a lot of people had 1 or 2 pairs of shoes. 2 sets of clothes (daily clothes, church clothes). When you grew out of them, your younger sibling or relative go the clothes. Hell naw did you throw them away or give them to good will.

Everybody has a computer, tablet, electronics and gets new ones every couple of years. If you lived in a modest apartment, had 3 sets of clothes, no electronics, made your own food - your cost of living would decrease probably by 1/2.

Despite people complaining about the inequalities of the rich and the middle/poor, life in a 1st world country is much better.
