I see the amount of stuff kids have these days and it's astounding. Perhaps it's generally greater wealth, or my peer group compared to my parents', but it's frightening.

Greater wealth is definitely part of it, but another thing is how cheap kids stuff is today as compared to 25 years ago. Many things (e.g. legos) are approximately the same price in nominal dollars. Other things are nominally cheaper, at least when they are on sale--we've purchased board games at Target for less than $4 that I am absolutely certain were more than $5 when I was a kid. It's all about Chinese manufacturing.
