You may have been able to buy a full load of groceries for $10, but didn't the average person make about $30 a week? If so, that's not much different from a modern income/grocery bill.
As for the era....I love it. I love knowing the good AND the bad! I like knowing obscure little things and I also like to know how ALL people lived (race, class, gender, location, etc.) I don't think it was simpler than today, but as someone pointed out -- the lack of immediate information may have made it simpler.
Hell, when I think back to the 80s and 90s now I sometimes sit and think "What a simpler time!" lol
