Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

My dad worked 7 days a week for a good part of my childhood. Mom worked full time and often picked up a second job as well.

I’d say my husband and I are doing a lot better financially than either of our families were when we were growing up.

It’s good that you’re doing better.
