>> In 1979 inflation was like 17% and the interest on a new car loan was 20%. Minimum wage was $2.25 an hour, or maybe a little higher.
I remember those years... as do a LOT of us here. We dealt with it. Back then it was considered important and ethical to pull your own weight.
I remember it well also. That’s why I knew inflation was bad in 1979, but it was not 17%.
