I have given this subject a lot of thought, and I have came up with a ratio of 10X. For instance, in the 60's a hamburger cost a quarter. Today it is about $2.50. Bottle of pop, a dime. Today it is a dollar. Minimum wage dollar and a quarter, today it is around $12.50. Gallon of gas 30 cents, today it is at least $3.00, maybe a little more. Economy car 2 grand in the 60's. Today most economy cars are around 20 grand. I take note when people walk in front of Foley's market, and I find most of the prices in his window about what they were in the 60's. Oh, for the good old days when things were cheap, and no one had any money to buy that cheap stuff.
