remember when you could buy a dozen of eggs for less than a dollar? (they costing 1.20 now!)

remember when you could fill your gas tank for less than 10 dollers?

remember when you could go to the store with a dollar and get a soda and some chips/candy bar and still have change?

i remember when my grandma used to give all her granchildren 5 dollars for thier birthdays and we thought we was the shyts with that five dollars! (now kids would look at that five dollars and be like wtmfh!!!)

Yes, I remember.

I also remember that on my first job right out of college in 19mumblemumble I made 4.25/hr and thought it was a good job.

I never would have dared dream of making $10/hr and now I won't work for that little.

Times they are a changing.

My dad taking us to Micky D's, all four getting a 1/4 pounder, fries, and a drink each, and it came to a little over $5. And Dad was bitching!
(circa '72)

Penny candy costs a penny

Seeing an ad for a brand new car, a Mercury Capri ('73) and thought they were out of their minds wanting $1,700.

Speaking of cars. Remember when on the price is right all of the new cars either started with a 4 or 5 for 4000 or 5000 then they started auto adding a 1 and the contestant had to guess the 2nd number. lol :p
