I made quite a bit of money from the Washington Post at one time. However, I’m glad I cut my financial ties and divested myself of all my WaPo holdings.

I delivered my last morning paper in 1960, at the age of 13, after having earned $20-$25 per week for three years.

Hey, don’t sneer; that’s BIG MONEY for a kid! (especially in 1958-60)

[I wonder if my leaving their employ had anything to do with their descent into terminal liberalism? Maybe I could have saved them, if only I’d tried harder to teach them the error of their ways..... NAAAAA!]

According to the BLS Inflation Calculator, $25 in 1960 dollars equals $193.74 in 2012 dollars. Ain’t the Federal Reserve a grand invention . . . ? US dollar lost over 95 percent of its value since its creation.
