pre- 911 gas was $1 and i remember them saying the new building would be done by 2009
a 27" tv was considered big and cost a few $100 now buying a good tv cost $1000 + and i didnt have to pay extra monthly $$ for having cable boxes as the line was cable ready
you could get good lights like fenix lumapower terralux stuff etc for $30-40 and now its $50-150 , we all complained of high price surefires and now the fenix has a $150 light but yes surefire inflated along too so its offset, but in perspective back in the day i never thought of paying 150 on a fenix
cigarretes were $2-4 a pack now they are $7-8
mass transit "trains & buses" were $1 now its $2 and possible raise in near future
it feels like everything is going up except my paycheck
