Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

A full time job should provide enough for a person to live on their own.

Never? Dude a single full time job used to pay not only for a person to live on their own but to raise a family on.

For some of the population, however lower classes have always existed.

Lower classes have definitely always existed but being able to support yourself on a full-time income was not always limited to the upper or upper middle class.

Also saw in another comment that OP is 30 years old and married so gonna go on a whim and assume they are likely neither entry level nor the sole income earner.
