But you've just said that 25yos in 2015 can go to the footy and have plenty disposable, simply by staying at home and continuing to be a burden on their parents.

This is what I mean by your argument contradicting itself. And even if you mean 25yos in 2015 with a mortgage, they are hardly representative of how an entire economy is doing - it's far too small as a demographic.

And is the comparison even relevant?

A 25yo Man in 1971 was almost certainly married, and very-likely already a parent. A 25yo in 2015 very-likley isn't married or a parent. Their relative circumstances would tend to render any comparison more-or-less pointless, imo.
