Yes , it varies from place to place ... depending on where You live ... I grew up in Kokomo Indiana and it used to be the cheapest place in America to live in the 80's ... You have to look for bargains nowadays ... supply and demand ... When I go grocery shopping I only buy what's on sale ... especially meat ...

User ID: 5308469 United States 12/30/2019 05:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Peepaws |

User ID: 76533371 Australia 12/30/2019 06:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the starbucks staff now make $12 an hour to work like whores on crack. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69642571 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!!!! In Australia wages are linked to inflation.. inflation is at 1.6%. These bastards have sneakily taken food and fuel out of the inflation rate. They lie about everything. |
