RE: The Cost of a Computer the Year You Were Born
Funny how computers are the exception to a very obvious trend. If there's any silver lining to the housing bust, it's houses becoming more affordable. Believe it or not, I saw stories a/o '2011 and '12 about guys with regular jobs who were buying houses with nothing more than their own income. A guy could swing a cheap house, even if a fixer-upper, on a $15 an hour full-time job.
Of course, the trick was finding and keeping a full-time job....
I feel like all consumer goods are cheaper now.
Interesting.
At Walmart you can buy a made in America printed T-shirt for less than $5. Clothes, tools, they all seem a lot cheaper.
Right, I forgot about that. Those drops have been ascribed to the "China price."
And now that you mention it, my dad bought tomato juice on sale for C$0.99 a can for more than twenty years.
