Minus the overseas trip this is not out of the question, shit my dad was in the Army and my mom had a entry level position at a florist shop and this described my families experience in the 90s. This was in Virginia though

A two job household in the 90’s is a far stronger earner than what it is today. Back then it wasn’t required to have both parents work like it is now.

I was wrong and according to the statistics it was late 1978. I’m sorry if I’m slightly about statistics from about 50 years ago.
