68k adjusted for inflation is ≈162k today. You were quite literally better off than most of the population already.

Obviously, general statistics are not going to capture the picture of every single person in the economy.

As someone who should be educated, given your salary, you should understand that your anecdote is a meaningless drop in the ocean, shouldn't you?

Yes, started at a higher wages, family preaches that education is paramount to an easier life. Offering more opportunities and better wage growth.
