It sounds like a good deal until you learn people got paid less back then too. When I graduated the minimum wage was only $2. How much do you get paid?

Prices were so low because they used actual money back then

2 dollars (min wage in 1974) the equivalent of 13 dollars an hour today, almost double the minimum wage.

it was also only at that rate for 1, year. the very next year you got a 5% raise, and the year after that you got 10% raise of the original 2 dollars.
