Out on the town-1935

[HESH2]

thinking back was married in the 60's,was blue collar worker worked alot of hrs and made little $$$$$$.but wife could go to store and get 5 bags of food including meat to feed family of 5 for a week.gas was like 3.2 gallons for $1.homes about $15,000.no real traffic and population smaller never got stopped driving after a few beers.now progress and all the toys we have you need big $$$$ to survive.so the $15k house is now $300k.cars cost more than my first home.so point is i am left thinking the times i grew up in you never had a problem finding work and taking care of your family,don't think you can say that today.

Today they say that finding a job is the equivalent of being accepted to Harvard University.
