how much was his salary?

>> No.22846996

he made almost twice that

>> No.22847008

I read that it was about $785/month, so rent was about 1/26 of the monthly wage.
Keeping the same proportion, if avg salary is $3000, rent should be around 100 bucks/month.
Mmm interesting, someone must have outjewed from there.

The best way to get prices in the past is advertisements. Check archived newspapers etc trust no institutes figures.
Remember also the dollar was defined as 1/20th an ounce of gold u till 1933 and 1/35th an ounce until 1971

Ok, but even if he paid 2 or 3 times that cost, it's still 1/13 and 1/9 of the average salary in 1969.

basically this^. you can find old ads with new cars going for <1000, new rifles going for $10, eggs for 10 cents/dozen, etc. the currency has been debased and incomes have not even come close to keeping up. it's why so many young people are voting for communism, what have they got to lose?

To be fair to "boomers". Many of the working class other than owning a home which is basically forced on them, Investments were not as easily accessible as you see today.

Those who could get into direct investments arguably would be charged pretty high fees by ((them)) the Banks and high street brokers.

My parents (and litterly every other boomer I know) kept their money at best in a bank savings account, or more normally simply in a checking/under the mattress.

You couldn't just load up robin hood and invest in Amazon, this wasn't' even that easy at the start of 1990s, only is it after 2000 do we start seeing wide-scale retail adoption of easily assessable investment accounts.

>> No.22850178

I wasn't even talking about investment. I was talking about being able to work at any company from an entry level and build a family around that income while still relatively living the american way of life we were promised but now see is an illusion and a thing of the past. They took this for granted and instead of using this success to build something, they wasted away or just siiiiiipped their generational wealth away so we all remain in the same social class unable to climb out despite them having perfect opportunity. It's fucking retarded
