You forgot to mention prices of things. I remember buying gas for 15 cents. Bought first new top of line car for $2,300. Built new home for $28.000. and the list goes on.

When I started working at the gas station in 1975, Regular was 49.9 cents a gallon.

Yep, my parents bought their first home in the S.F. Bay Area for $28,000. Dad was stationed at Alameda Naval Air Station and my brother and I were little kids. My sister, Kid #3 was born there.

Remember making $1.50 an hour (under the table) ..

Now making $80+ an hour - above the table.

Prefer the $1.50 an hour days...
