My grandparents were up to their eyeballs in debt. They paid fucking $1800 for drapes in the living room in 1978 and spent the next 20 years chain smoking inside the house. But i wasn’t allowed to sit on their nice sofa because “kids are dirty”
They had these things exactly because they didn't need to worry with money, anon. It's not that they were dumb with money, they didn't need to pay attention to it.
Did op look up the price of "1950s Royal Doulton China" and see that some sets today sell for $500 and then assume they paid $500 for a set in the 50s?
Boomers? This is the stuff my grandparents would've had which then gets passed down to their children (i.e. actual boomers). News flash regard; they didn't have microwaves in 1920.
You can also absolutely microwave china unless it has the gold trim which will give you a little lightening show when you try zap it!
You buy cups and mugs I buy beer pong sets. We are not the same.
But if im being fr I got some cheap Ikea glasses that can handle hot drinks and them shits are built like a tank. You could drop a nuke on me right now and 300 years from now theyll still be standing in the rubble.
I mean their parents generation insisted that they get fine china as proof they raised them right like your parents insisted that you get an equally over priced and under used college degree.

The act of buying something so expensive that you dont even use it needs to be studied tbh.
Same shit is happening with shoes rn despite the fact they get ruined faster without any use.
