It'd be interesting to see what would happen to 35 and up if you excluded everyone born before, idk, 1980, and then again if you excluded everyone born before 1965.

On one income, I owned my first house in 1994 for $425/mo and next in 2001 for about 2x that. Hurricanes hit elsewhere in 05 & 07 (last here 1921) & I lost the 2nd when my (mandated) insurance doubled my monthly house payment.

By 2021 we could minimally survive on 1.5 incomes (did 1). Today it's 3.5 incomes (have 4).

Luckily, the link provides just this information:

35-44: 62% 45-54: 70% 55-64: 75% 65+: 79%
