#1.)  Everything Is So Expensive.  In 1950, you could get a decent car for $500, and gas was about 25 cents a gallon.  But you have to put that in perspective:

A low-end job in the service industry only paid a dollar an hour.  So even though you could get a steak for 50 cents, that was a lot.

The truth is, when you adjust for inflation, the prices of most things have stayed pretty much the same.  And some things have gotten a lot cheaper.

For example, in 1954 a high-end color TV . . . with a 15-inch screen . . . cost around $1,300, which was half a year's salary for some people.
