Cost of Living vs. Quality of Life: Isn’t It Worse Now?

A common question Paul hears about this younger generation is: Isn’t it worse for us now? With wage stagnation and tough housing markets, it could be very easy to assume it is harder. After all, houses were for sale for $30,000 fifty years ago. Paul and Evan expand the question by including the concept of quality of life.

Listen along to hear these advisors explain why cost of living and quality of life work together to paint a more optimistic picture for younger generations.
