The problem with the comparison of pre and post 1985's are where these people are in their lives.
When I was 23 I was still in college, living on $7/hr, sharing a house with 3 other guys, eating Ramen and Little Tony's Pizza's. After getting a "real" job and making 3 times as much money I did what most (stupid) people do. Move out on your own and pay twice as much in rent, buy a new (used) vehicle, buy some toys (motorcycles, electronics, etc), and suddenly I am as broke as I was before, just with a ton more stuff.
Has nothing to do with what year I was born, just where I am at in life. Jeep's almost paid for, and I haven't bought any pointless extras in over a year now. Just paying rent (yuck, but temporarily living in this state), Jeep payment, and student loan.
