hi.....dear here is your answer........
There is no comparison. I always thought my mother's generation saw the most change of any. As a child, poor in the NE of England she never saw a car. Her father was a shipyard labourer and was often out of work. The 'means test' man came round to see who needed any form of social support, limited though it was. People would pass furniture, clocks, anything of any slight value at all over the walls of the terraced houses because you'd be forced to sell everything to get a penny.
My grandparents had an outside toilet. They were never able to afford a holiday never mind fly. Hardly anything new was bought. Everything was repaired, patched and handed down. Even when he was old and the state pension probably gave him more money than he'd ever had he'd rarely buy anything. They lived in council rented accommodation their entire lives.
They wouldn't recognise how we live today. We have several houses in the UK but are mainly based in Portugal. We fly back and forward with regularity. I can buy almost everything I want. I treated myself to a 900cc Triumph motorbike last month to relive a bit of my youth before I'm totally passed it. I'll probably sell it after the summer and the hit I'll take won't hurt that much.
I volunteer at the local dog shelter here and I probably spend more on the dogs than my grandparents spent on food for a week. I'm grateful to my parents for taking chances that gave me the opportunities I have today. They were not going to be defined by their poor start in life. Although now I have relatives who haven't moved on that much.
My mother always said going from a world where she never saw a car to a time when man landed on the moon was nothing short of incredible.
hope it helps u........bye
