This is a bit convoluted.
So if I was working at some job paying say $100k a year today, that would be about $48k in 1992. So basically I would magically show up working for a job equivalent to what I have today, but making like $48k. If I have an apartment or own a house today, I would have an apartment or own a house in this time. In order to succeed, I basically need to continue making at least $48k a year and having a house or apartment? Is that it? If they leave the job they have, they will magically have a resume that allows them to continue or what? And socially, you magically have as many friends then as you do now and have to maintain that number?
What about someone that is unemployed and has $10k to their name, equivalent of $4800 in 1992. Do they just need to remain unemployed with at least $4800?
Yeah, basically you would be living the same life you lead now, only 90s equivalent. If you are comfortable now, you may be comfortable living in the 90s. Or uncomfortable now, uncomfortable living in the 90s (or maybe more comfortable, who knows?)
The main point is that things would be a lot different and you would have to live and adapt with the lifestyle and technology of the early 90s. All of the conveniences you may enjoy now (smartphone, Xbox Live, Internet etc) will be gone.
