The life in the past vs the life now

Many people argue that it is true that life was harder is more hard the life in the past, for example like in the seventy years ago. But I am not very sure that this is true.
My fathers or my uncles all time,often tell me that yourtheir lifelives waswere more difficult than the lifelives forof the young people now. Because now, the young people hashave a lot of things that do themake life more easyeasier and the life is more comfortable. Yes of course, according the life goes appearas time goes on we see more progress but this is a double-edge sword. Now the people need to be better prepared academically because the majority of the people hashave to higher studiesstudy for longer and it is more difficult find a good job with a good salary. Now you can see a lawyer like a shop assistant (Not sure what you mean here). In the past this was unimaginable.
It isIs a complicated subject complicated but it is important to take into account that in each epoch has advantages and disadvantages and because of this is it is impossible to compare.

I wasn't exactly sure in places what you were trying to say so I may have changed the meaning slightly, my apologies if this is the case.
