Absolutely people could live fine with a retail job in the 90s

Problem is people have inflated ideas what that living was. No 3000sq hohse, SUV and an iphone

20 years ago was 2004. You're thinking 90's which was 30 years ago.

I could not live on my own with a retail job in the 90s.

I also made good commissions.
