While using gold to calculate the real wage is based and correct, it's important to remember that virtually all manufacturing, power generation, logistics, and efficiency in general is far better than it was in 1970. So not only should you be making more in purchasing power terms, that same purchasing power would be able to buy far, far more commodities. If the boomers were living like kings at minimum wage, we should be living like emperors on minimum wage. The amount of wealth those of us with "good paying" jobs should have is almost unfathomable.
YOU NEED TO BE MORE ENTITLED. YOU LEGITIMATELY DESERVE MORE.
