20 yrs ago, I went out to expensive restaurants, took vacations at resorts, drove a new luxury car. I'm still the same person, albeit more experienced at what I do. However, I was able to afford those because my skills were valuable AND marketable. Now, I'm actually making more than I did then, but inflation has taken its toll.
