What things did people have in the 70’s that we don’t have now? I can think of a few. A debt-free education for one... university study here in the Netherlands was fully government funded. Affordable homes to buy for another... a good sized house was 3x an average year’s salary.

I thought education was still free in the Netherlands, no?
Another thing is no security cameras.

No our students get saddled with student loans now
@Denker sorry to hear that. I lived there in the seventies and I thought your education system was great. What happened?
@confidentrealm I’m not exactly sure... I think it’s along the lines of more people stay in education longer and it became unaffordable.
@Denker I know back then it beat the hell out of the US system. It probably still does. I liked the different levels of secondary school. Weeded those out that didn't want to learn and taught them a trade instead. If you wanted to go on the university, you had to be intelligent and not just be able to play a sport. I hope those things are still in existence.
@confidentrealm yes, those aspects have proven very succesful and still exist.
