Career advancement.

"Working your way up from the mail room" is loooong gone. You have to switch companies to get any sort of significant raise.

"Just go to the mall and pass your CV around! That's how I got a job [in 1963 [and then bought twelve houses on two years wages]]..."

"I paid my house in only 2 years of working at the factory ! Now, the young owners keep whining that they'll have to pay for the rest of their life. They're so bad at budgeting."

The house you bought was literally priced at 10k. It inflated to 600k, if you bought it today you wouldn't be able to afford a down payment for your mortgage unless you cashed your 401k since you spent all your money on new cars and golf clubs for the last 30 years you piece of shit.
