From $280 a week to $1520 a week for me. I had more in taxes deducted per week than I earned then. $72K a year, and the taxes could have fed and clothed and paid my mortgage in the 1970’s. The money is worth nothing, the Reserve banks have it all.

Yes, everyone forgets that the pay in 1979 was much lower too, not just the food prices. Sure I remember paying a rent in 1975, that included gas and water, of $175 a month….$165 if I paid on or before the first. Now my I pay $2400 a month. This line of thought is all well and good, but ya can’t go back in time.
