Everything old is new again. Haven't you been watching styles? Bell bottoms, hip huggers......etc. etc.
Most things are relative BUT my Daddy and Momma bought "the new house" in 1963 at double his income. What it's worth now, I could not buy at double my income and I make more in a year then he ever did. Just an example. Another.....my first car was brand new and had every option but AC. (took away horse power). It was 2,800 and I was making $265 a month. The payment was 60 a month and with gas, insurance and everything else, it was EXPENSIVE! Young GI's today at the hospital look at me like I'm crazy when I try and explain it to them.
I do like the "old days" better.
