Well... 19th century engineer could have a large multi-story brownstone with family and , more importantly, servants and house personnel. A butler, etc...

Today? On an engineer's salary? Ha!

Which you mostly don't need today. You may have a lawn guy, take your car to a mechanic, and use a washer/dryer to do most of your laundry.

I think that could be true for some engineers. I'm skeptical it was true for the majority.
