The good ole days. Have to remember, 3 bucks and you walk out of the grocery store with enuff to feed the family for half a year.
My Father was a carpenter with the city after the war. I saw one of his pay stubs once that my mother had saved. I was seriously shocked that anyone could run a house hold on that.
When I was 15, I worked in a grocery store for a buck and a half an hour. A pay check for me was something like 30 dollars. I was one rich dude.
I worked in grocery stores and gas stations when I was a kid for 50cent a hour. My check was 15.00 some time but you could get a chicken fried steak for 1.25 so I guess it evens out
