In 1971 the minimum wage was $1.60 an hour and the median rental price was $108 a month, meaning you could easily rent a two-bedroom apartment alone by yourself working part-time at the minimum wage. Please remember this was before income requirements and credit score checks. Not only that, but a gram of gold back then was $1.06. Meaning that an hour of MINIMUM WAGE WORK bought you MORE THAN A GRAM OF GOLD. Today that number is something like $120 a gram. Despite the rhetoric, very few people are making over even $16 an hour. Food was cheaper. Cars were cheaper. Gas was cheaper.
Everyone born after 1980 is living in a post-apocalypse scenario.
