...and minimum wage was, what? Average weekly salary was?

I think gas was maybe 88 cents a gallon.

My parents did not have it easy then. Everything has to be compared, not just prices.

Gas at the time I am talking about - early to mid 1960s - was 29 cents a gallon. That price is also never coming back.
