More of the evidence that just as time goes, the more things change and sometimes things that were, that were, you know, normal 20 to 30 years ago might be considered luxuries today. Let's just get into it.

10 Things Considered Normal 20 to 30 years ago, but is considered a luxury now. What the hell does that even mean? What the hell is considered luxurious to you in the first place?

Luxury of me as a kid was when I got my first name brand pair of high tops when I finally got in the high school. Prior to that, because my mom worked at Sears, I was outfitted in the sweetest, most awful Sears brand tennis shoes for the first 14 years of my God forsaken life.

The parents even know how they destroy their children's cred with that crap. Not that they had me. Look at me. My wallpaper. Nobody wants it. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Positive Friday. Positive Friday. Positive Friday. So positive. Thanks for reinforcing that BD. Oh man. So 10 things considered normal 20 to 30 years ago, but is now considered a luxury.

Photographs comes in at number 10. So we all offer camera phones with filters that make people appear to be masters of F stops and ISO. However, just seeing a photo grow old on a photo on a photo paper used to bring so much joy to as the color fades.

Things get to look weird. It starts to look older. It's like those were classic times right there. My parents. The one thing my parents have that I told them like when you die, I want this. They have boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes.

Photographs, but I mean, it's just it's my family on both sides farther back than I was born. So I said, look, leave those to me one day. Organize them. I just want my kids to see all of the weird, crazy ass people that came before.

Solitude at number nine, avoiding people by simply not answering the landline phone. This would make a person calling assume that you're just not home.

I'll tell you what, man, I think the cell phones better at that because you can mute a cell phone, right? So even landline, even if you knew who was calling, you'd want to avoid it. They would call back. But before the answering machines or anything, it would ring until they hung up. So if that thing is going to ring 28 times.

Because they're willing to wait. You're and you can't mute it. But when when people didn't answer. You knew, right? Whereas like the cell phone people keep calling texting. Sometimes people freak out. Like I didn't, you know, like, why text you twice yesterday and hear back? Like, yeah, I was being lazy. I didn't feel like texting you. Right.

Right. So I mean, I think that's where it's like, right, it's hard to get solitude away from stuff. That right. Because that is a difference where if they called and phone rang 28 times, they could not text me after that. Right.

Because then it also starts weighing on you. Like, I got to get back to them. They want to talk about crap. And I got it. I got a column back. I mean, there's some places you can go where cell phone coverage still sucks. And I love writing a cab in there.

Sure. Just tell me like, oh, I'm out of cell phone range for, you know, six days. I believe that every time I go in vacation, most of the time, that's not true. But I was, hey, I'm not a bad technique.

Hey, man, where we're going? Where are you going? I don't want to tell you, but where we're going? I just, I want, I want to have a phone covered. You're going to Manhattan.

A affordable concert ticket shows up on the list. Oh, yeah. For real. We man, we're spoiled here.

The first concert I went to is 1983. And I had to beg complete my parents. I was kiss. The opening band was night ranger. Nice. But beg complete my parents everything. I got to go to the show.

My dad's like, I know you've always loved kiss. Let me look at the ticket prices. And he freaked out. Can you guess how much that ticket was 1983? And he was like, I can't believe it costs this much.

It was $35. It was $13.50. Holy crap, man. Right. And I mean, this is, we're like 30 times more than it is. Reliable pensions. Again, these are the 10 things considered normal 20 to 30 years ago, but it's now considered a luxury.

That's what the pensions supposed to be. When someone tells me they have one, I'm like, wow. Really? I mean, honestly, that's what it does supposed to be. Right. Yeah, I mean, they just don't exist anymore. Absolutely.

That's why it's kind of tough. Sometimes for a lot, you know, deal them with generations above you. Yeah, you know, like, and I get where people are saying stuff, but also like, it's just not how the economies work.

Right. Like, you know, like, you could do that at that age, but like, I can. Right. The inflation happens. And this and that, like, the price of it of a home and this and that, it's like, it's completely different.
