Lee, The only thing that has deflated is the dollar. You can take from 1965 pay scales and cost of merchandise, multiply by 10 and get about the cost of things today. But, one huge difference is the level of taxes we have to pay. Thirty years ago we didn't have such a heavey tax burden. In 1966 I worked for $385.00 per month, bought my first home ($9700.00)payment (57.00 per), new car (2800.00) payment (51.00 per) and had spendable dollars that, percentage wise I don't have to day earning 12 times the 1966 salary. TAXES!!! griz
