Nobody has said it cost nothing. But it costs considerably more now. This is pretty well substantiated. Bigger houses, higher day care costs, much more spent on sports and activities, saving for post-secondary eduction, fewer teens working jobs, more staying at home until their mid or late 20s. This isn’t anecdotal stuff. You can look it up.
