I was born during "the depression".
Our first house cost $12,000.00
Our first car $1300.00
We were both working and our combined income was $4,000.00
We paid the gyn/ob. $75.00 for our first baby and $100.00 three years later for our second one.
I remember during the 1940s' my mother sending me to the butcher to buy 3 pork chops with
the fillets for .25cents!
