\nThe Inflation Calculator Will Make You Wish You Could Go Back in Time<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Inflation, inflation, inflation. It’s all over the news these days. Heck, you don’t need any news bobbleheads to tell you that prices are soaring. Have you filled up your tank lately? How about eggs? Bought any eggs recently. Heck a month ago around my neck of the woods, eggs were seventy-nine cents a dozen. Granted they weren’t the free-range ultra-organic eggs, but eggs nonetheless. Today a dozen eggs cost $2.79.<\/span><\/p>\n Have you ever wondered what inflation has done to our dollar?<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s a site where you can see how much $100 in today\u2019s money would be worth, let\u2019s say, in the 1960\u2019s money. If you\u2019re curious, $100 in 2022 money would have purchased about $10.55 worth of goods\/services in 1960. According to the Inflation Calculator…<\/span><\/p>\n Adjusted for inflation, $100.00 in 2022 is equal to $10.55 in 1960.<\/span> A house that cost\u00a0 $45,000 in 1965 would cost $402,118 in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n The Inflation Calculator says…<\/span><\/p>\n Heck, I could make more being a greeter at Walmart! Shame on you, Darcy. How do you sleep?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, let’s say you’re getting Social Security and you’re making $1800 a month in 2022… imagine if you could go back in time to 1960, you’d be making $17,070 a month. That’s about $4,064 a week or $204,840.00 a year.\u00a0 What a retirement you’d have.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The folks at Dollar Times, who created the Inflation Calculator, want you to know…<\/span><\/p>\n A dollar just ain’t what it used to be.
