     One didn't make as money then then as now as well, thanks to inflation.   
     I recall making about $200 a month when I started working full time in   
   1968.   
     With that amount I rented a house, brought furniture, food, a car,   
   clothes, etc and had a little left over.   Gas for the house about $3 a month,   
   electric $2, gas for the car about 33 cents, etc.   
     While things cost more today, people have higher incomes.     
     Its a circle.   
     Higher wages mean high prices since the companies have to pay their   
   people more, etc.
