In Reply to: Now let us look at the real cost of living in the 1950s vs now posted by tweaker456 on June 7, 2021 at 12:20:13:
A 1955 Chevy Bel Air cost between $1,500-$1,800.
A new 2021 Chevy Impala is about $33,000 for the typical package.
$1,800 in 1955 is worth $17,936.46 today.
Your statistic is completely meaningless especially for houses. What's the cost of a 1,500 sq ft house in Iowa versus Palo Alto?
