I worked at a McDonalds for $2.10/hr,

What year was that?

1975, the same time I worked at Mickeys... the old paper hat days.

1973.

Vicki Lawrence singing The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia was on top-40 radio at the time, I remember listening to it in the break room.

When I went out to put things in the dumpster, I could catch glimpses of Live and Let Die on the screen of the drive-in, a couple of parking lots away.

My first job out of the military paid $1.50 an hour.
This was in 1966.

Of course, gasoline cost about $0.37/gal back then, which is pretty close to what it costs now, when adjusted for inflation.

And (also) of course, an iPad cost infinity back then, as did an MRI scan. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both born in 1973, so their net worth was pretty low too.
