The buying power of many has decreased because so many have no concept of living within the means they have and budgeting their money accordingly. Debt loads are high and payments for everything now the norm. It's sad... unnecessary... but a reality of today's way of thinking. Live by a monthly plan die by it as well.
It doesn't take luck or a huge income, just a little self discipline. No it's not always easy but it is doable.
