“Inflation is so high that many more will be in this situation in the future.”

When I reaiize something I used to buy for a nickel, or 24 for a dollar on weekends, is now a 60/70 cent item I am quite scared as the dickens what my kids will live to see, let alone the grandkids....Also recall a new Chevy Bel Air at 1300.00..(1953)

Guess I should get used to 8,9,10 dollar hamburgers.huh?

Compare minimum wage in the late 60s when an SS 396 Chevelle cost $3,600 with the minimum wage today and the price of a top of the line vehicle. Wages have not kept up.
