When you are as old as my age group. Sticker shock at times occurs. Fifty cents would buy a more than adaquate hot roast beef sandwich in a restaurant. Hot roast beef on a bun at a take out was nineteen cents. Hambugers where five for a dollar.

Even as late as the very early 1960s. You could pay the morgage and all utility bills plus the property insurance and property taxes. At lower cost than our hydro bill alone is today. It averages about two hundred a month.

Today we recognize or should how fortunate we were.
