>would you rather be poor now or some time in the past? I don't think there's anyone who would choose the past.
Sheesh, I know what you mean.
It was such a drag in the 1960's having to save every penny you could working minimum wage, and it still took a year or two before you could afford to pay cash for a new Ford Mustang or F-150.
By the 70's gasoline had skyrocketed to 50c per gallon too, so then you could only afford to drive across the country once or twice a year.
Motel 6's had already gone up to $8, that's just how bleak it was.
While those with trust funds never had to worry about these types of limitations.
