20. One cause that people mostly miss is the mortgage companies
realized that as more women wanted careers they now had two incomes for those mortgages, so they started raising the price of homes because families could pay twice as much. Then that forced all other housing to go up which in turn forced women who didn't have careers to go to work to make ends meet. It became a vicious cycle and now everyone has to work. It's no longer a real choice for women.

Single people are finding it hard to make ends meet also because everything is geared towards a two earner family now.
