The inflation thing is something everyone glosses over. You buy a nice house for $30k and within a decade everything is paid and you have 4x earnings. Also the pension thing is no joke. That changes your outlook on life.

I try not to think about the fact that as an engineer now I'm poorer than a cement driller was 30 years ago.
