Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Hmmm - no spreadsheet but with a few memory cells left
Age 10, 1953, $3-5 per DAY picking strawberries in Oregon was big money.
Age 11-15, $2-3 per lawn was big money - furnished my own lawnmower.
1966 - first engineer job $8k/year and 1992 - last year of work before ER - $61k/yr.
People on this forum - save more than I made in my best earnings years. Inflation has been with me as long as I can remember. Why I can remember when you could buy a decent running (not too much smoke) $50 old car from the junkyard - maybe nurse a whole year out of it and sell it back for the original $50.
In the modern world - it seems to be a constant presence - requiring - er ah 'creative hedonic' adjustment.
Pssst - didn't the Terhorsts' note this in their first Argentina stay?
No escape - although 'agile, mobile and hostile' ala the Bear may mitigate the effects.
heh heh heh heh - haven't seen a decent $50 car in decades.
