The cost of the average car, not even anything special, has gotten way out of control.”
My grandma died in 1967 and left me $20,000. Bought a brand new split level house, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, double car garage, huge yard with a four-line clothes line and a brand new Mustang. No money left but if that were now we could hardly buy just a car.
20,000 grand adjusted for inflation is 136,000 dollars (2012)
