The following were some comments made in the year 1957:
>>
>> (1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way
>> they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for
>> $20.00."
>>
>> (2) "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It
>> won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one."
>>
>> (3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit.
>> A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
>>
>> (4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging
>> a dime just to mail a letter?"
>>
>> (5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be
>> able to hire outside help at the store."
>>
>> (6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas
>> would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving
>> the car in the garage,"
>>
>> (7) "Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make
>> it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing
>> their hair as long as the girls,"
>>
>> (8) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever
>> since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone With The
>> Wind", it seems every new movie has either hell or damn in it."
>>
>> (9) "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's
>> possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even
>> have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
>>
>> (10) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a
>> contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if
>> someday that they will be making more than the President."
>>
>> (11) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
>> appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters
>> now"
>>
>> (12) "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where
>> a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
>>
>> (13) "It won't be long before young couples are going to have
>> to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
>>
>>
>> (15) "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the
>> door to a whole lot of foreign business."
>>
>> (16) "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the
>> Government takes half our income in taxes.. I sometimes wonder if we are
>> electing the best people to Congress."
>>
>> (17) "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,
>> but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
>>
>>
>>
>> (18) "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for
>> a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
>>
>> (19) "No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a day in
>> the hospital is too rich for my blood."

HAHA - wasn't born yet. 17 years before I was born!!!!

When I started driving, gas was 89 cents (1990). There are still a few used cars under $5,000, just make sure you have the number for your tow truck company handy!!!
