[quote:Anonymous Coward 69642647:MV80MjIyNDE0Xzc2ODExOTg3X0Q1NDgyMDE2] [quote:Peepaws:MV80MjIyNDE0Xzc2ODExOTc0X0NCRDk2RDYz] In 1992 I paid $350 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment plus electric, which ran about $35 to $40 a month in a good part of Houston, Texas in the Rice/West U area. The Lou Ann platter at Luby's Cafeteria where you got choice of meat, 2 vegetables, a roll and iced tea was $3.50. A person could live very well on $11 an hour, I did. I don't know what has happened, wages haven't gone up for most people, but cost of living has gone way up. Apartments now start at around $1250 a month and the renters now have to pay all bills in most cases, including a garbage fee and parking space.

the starbucks staff now make $12 an hour to work like whores on crack.
back in 1992 i paid $375 per month to live in a gated community with tennis courts, sauna, swimming pool, a front gate security guard on Lake Murray in La Mesa, CA (just outside San Diego).
for a 1 bedroom here now you pay at least $1,000-1,500 per month without any of those amenities
gas back then was $1.15 per gallon. now it is $4.00 per gallon.
food in 1992 cost 1/2 of what it costs now
back then you could get a sandwitch for 1/2 the price or a coffee
SO HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE PAYING FOR ALL THIS STUFF IF THIS WORLD IS SUPPOSEDLY REAL?
I EVEN LOOKED AT 6 PAIRS OF SOCKS IN WALGREENS YESTERDAY AND THE MOST INEXPENSIVE WAS $13,50
THIS WORLD IS DOOMED!!!!
