I can't say that I can believe those adjusted for inflation figures because they seem to be way off. The reality is that food was pretty cheap back in the old days.

Do NOT take ANYTHING Poi Boi says here seriously, Michael, he simply MAKES STUFF UP... 2. Yeah, a $7.00 bucket of chicken in 1965 would be about $60.00 presently. Overall, food was more expensive back then, both in "real" terms adjusted for inflation, and as a percentage of earned income (incomes, adjusted for inflation, are higher now). In 1965, our family was starting to do pretty well. Traded in the old tired '59 Ford Custom sedan for a snazzy new Fury III two - door hardtop. We got new Colonial - style furniture and wall - to - wall carpeting from Sears. Dad was a highly - paid factory worker, mom had just been made postmaster of our tiny town, so good jobs and income. And that bucket of chicken would NOT have been anything we'd even remotely consider buying, "fast food" in our area was still exotic, rare, and pricey - except for "loose meat" Maid - Rite sammiches... In 1965, an elderly aunt gifted me with $5.00 for my birthday, my mom said, "Save most of it, don't spend it all at once!"... that five 1965 bucks would be $45.00 today. Here's yer chicken's price in 1965 vs. today. https://postimg.cc/mPBzq8m0 There are many inflation calculators. When I'm doing a calculation, I usually use several, they seem to have roughly the same results. I like to go through old Life magazines or newspaper archives to look at prices, when adjusting for inflation much stuff that is cheap now was really expensive, to the point of being a luxury, "back in the day": https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm https://westegg.com/inflation/ Here is a good site will sorts of links: http://projects.exeter.ac.uk/RDavies/arian/current/howmuch.html Current Value of Old Money Changes in the Value of Money over time - Historical Background "A frequent question is "how much would a specified amount of money at a certain period of time be worth today?" The sources listed below are useful in attempting to answer this question. Comparisons of purchasing power are only reliable over short periods. A typical computer today is a very different machine from its counterpart of 5 years ago. Indices of inflation fail to take proper account of improvements in quality. Even in the essentials of life there are significant changes over the years. A typical diet in most advanced countries will be rather different today from what it would have been before the refrigerator became a common household item. Furthermore it has been argued that anthropometric measures of well-being, e.g. people's height, are a far better measure of a nation's s tandard of living than such conventional indicators as gross national product or per capita income..." </> |
