A lot of your language implies you think this was a chosen path.
We didn’t get offered any of this.
We’ve drifted here over decades, through a variety of economic factors.
Double income households becoming common was a large player in making them necessary.
And I haven’t heard how you’d change that.
The inflation that means one income is no longer enough would have to be addressed in some way, probably with a massive devaluation of housing.
My point has always been that as human beings we should demand more of our government and more from our society. We should be striving for a society where one person in a household working is enough to own a home and bring up children if they choose.
We have a limited number of years on this planet and working harder for longer, and having our parents working harder for longer doesn’t seem like an optimal way to spent them.
Yeah the idea is aspirational, I argue we need to be. The focus should be on improving our quality of life and not on more ways to enable more of our family members to work more and see each other less just so we can raise the average house value to 2 million.
