The biggest difference between then and now is back then you inflated your way to more prosperity. Mortgages are linear. If you couldn't afford your payment you would afford it in the not too distant future. These day people are shackled for life.

Sure enough... Going to be interesting to watch things unfold in the future as some doors close and new ones open
no...one channel was Kitchener another was London and then they added Toronto so we thought we were really in the big time with a cosmopolitan influence
lucky you as you can likely speak French well. I can't. I wish I could. when I retire I'm going to get the Rosetta Stone and expand my languages
well can't have your dad murdering his kids...at least you are bilingual... good on you
Credit cards made their real push in 1958 and banks began making consumer loans
until then money was actually worth something Debt and the value of money is one
problem but since we allowed companies to get tax breaks from governments and at
the same time take jobs off shore we have had a race to the bottom in terms of living
standards,
The time has come to ensure companies who receive and tax breaks or reductions
give something in return. The job creation money they doled out in 2008 they kept and
increased their share and dividend values Money to bail out companies should have
come with a lot of strings and it didn't.
Its also time to introduce ethics to companies as well as government Iceland has done
so and its time for governments to put these corporations in their place using legislation
no red tape is not all bad. Greed has taken over everything and when the wage of a worker
is something like 1 600th of a management person at the top the system is out of balance.
How is it the wages of the worker goes down while the income and bonus structure of the
people at teh top is always going up? This is only part of the problem.

More like the right education. Where I work even laborers make well over $100G a year.
I never cease to wonder, just what do things like the comparative value of the minimum wage in the USA, have to do with Canada?
It has nothing to do with Canada. Mentalfloss just has a problem posting a subject in the proper sub forum.
A walk down memory lane for some of you would be:
Credit available at certain stores before credit cards became popular. Anyone remember having a credit account at Tip Top Tailors or HFC Finance. Anyone remember Chargex cards. Anyone in Ontario remember having to have what was called a Barrie Trap/Filter on your Black and White to keep that station from "ghosting" over Buffalo and Toronto? How about rotary antenna heads?
