When I was 13 years old you could buy a gallon of gasoline for a quarter. Today a 1963 quarter will still buy a gallon of gasoline.

According to inflation calculators, the inflation rate from 1800 to 1913 was -40%. From then until now it is 2500%.

I always say in 1963 a quarter would buy a loaf of bread and it still will today. Just like it will buy a gallon of gas. Its hard to believe how much the dollar has been devalued in our lifetime.
