I doubt it. I'm late Baby Boom, myself, and remember a few things that aren't all that common now:
My parents had one car. My dad changed his own oil and spark plugs, washed it himself, and only when he absolutely couldn't fix it did it go to the garage. Tires were changed when there was no tread left. My mom and I walked wherever we needed to go when he was at work.
My parents had one TV. They saved up for several months to buy it - no time payments, no credit card, etc. Ditto one record player. Ditto one radio.
The house had one phone, supplied by the phone company.
We went grocery shopping once every two weeks, after my dad was paid. We bought staples and inexpensive cuts of meat. My mom clipped coupons. Bags of snack foods were rare items in our house. Bags of potatoes were more common. In the summer we had a vegetable garden, and went to nearby farms to buy fruit.
My dad used the VA loan program to buy our house. It was new, and we were very excited with it. Up to that time, we rented. It was three bedrooms and one bath, about 950 square feet I would guess.
We went to the movies about half a dozen times a year. We took a one week vacation every year, usually by car, staying at inexpensive motels along the way. The whole family went fishing numerous times each summer, at a nearby reservoir. We ate what we caught.
The point of that trip down memory lane is that my parents were fine with small and simple, saving up for things they wanted, and making do with what they had for as long as possible. Most of us have consumption and spending patterns and habits that are worlds apart from that. If you cut your life to essentials, real essentials, I think you will find your income is much greater than you think it is.
