Comparing your life to how life was 50yrs ago is pointless. Whatever results the comparison reveals are not going to change your current living situation. Compare your living situation to 100 years ago and you're doing great, yet your current situation remains the same. Study the here and now, current opportunities, where opportunities will exist in the future, and strive for some level of financial literacy. All this can be done for free.
If given the option, I would take 1925 with its great depression, world wars and pandemics over 2025.
Our current society has been insidiously changed over the last 40 years to create an indentured population to serve a select few, this comes at the cost of a mass extinction event which in all honesty will most likely cause the human race to go the way of the dodo.
So no amount of social mobility will fix this, I'm sorry but the world is a nightmare hellscape. Thank god we can compartmentalize.
