A Dollar Ain’t What it Used to Be<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Inflation-O-Meter is here…<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This is an oddball tip, but it’s something most everyone (at least here in the USA) will find interesting. Have you ever wondered what inflation has done to our dollar?<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a site where you can see how much $100 in today’s money would be worth, let’s say, in the 1960’s money. If you’re curious, $100 in 2019 money would have purchased about $11.70 worth of goods\/services in 1960. A home that cost $40,000 in 1970 would cost $266,000 in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s really not called Inflation-O-Meter but that’s what we call because we can call it anything we want! And you, my friend, can call it whatever you want. But I bet you will call it fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll find it interesting, if not useful. Check out the Inflation Calculator here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
