33. That's easy enough

People live lifetimes, not points in time. How I'm doing right now is a function of how I've done my entire life. The average total income over the last 20 years is higher than the average total income from 72-92. This is a critical point.

Never mind the actual quality differences that are "small" but make a big difference (off the top of my head):
Instant access to more information than I'd ever use in my entire lifetime. Books, research reports, all sorts of public data, etc.
Better and plentiful entertainment options, such as high quality TV, streaming movies, out of market sports programming, dozens of high quality craft beers, and more!
Online access to local government, banks, and utilities.
Free or low cost tax preparation software.
A wide variety of foods and ingredients from my local mass-market grocery store.
And even lightweight fabrics that let me run during the dead of winter without freezing my ass off.

It's plain as day. I'm better informed, better entertained, and living a life of less drudgery than 20 years ago. And (not like it's any of your business mr-I-earn-over-70k-a-year) I'm unemployed!
