Summary

This quote suggests that the decline of the family wage, the idea that a single income is sufficient to support a family, has been driven by the rise of consumerism. As consumerism encourages people to constantly seek and purchase more goods and services, families may find it difficult to sustain their standard of living on a single income. This erosion of the family wage is linked to societal changes and economic developments that prioritize material consumption, potentially leading to greater financial strain on families.
