In the 35 years since I first attended college, the tuition at my school has increased by over 1000%. Since graduation, my paycheck has not exactly kept pace.
In the same vein, and a bit off topic. I like to show people a stack of ten Morgan silver dollars I have and say that they were worth ten dollars when they were minted in the 20’s and they were worth ten dollars in 1972. Now they are worth $400.
Why is that?
:-p
