gentlemen's clubs also seemed pretty cool
lol not at all
unless you are way off the grid
you mean like in 1920
except now you have solar, wind, generators, and the likes
in 1920 you could literally work as a store clerk and buy a house 5 years later
now if you work as a clerk you won't even be able to afford to rent a 1 bedroom apt
you also didn't need degrees to get most jobs
I'm not sure I ever knew what an average store clerk pay was in 1920
Well a medium sized house would only cost $1000 back then
in the city
Anyone here vc?
@진수 (James) sometimes
In other words, $1,000 in 1920 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $12,848.70 in 2020, a difference of $11,848.70 over 100 years. The 1920 inflation rate was 15.61%.
So imagine working for 5 years as a clerk at 7/11 in 2020 and buying a house for $12,000 in a major city
I'm looking for data on wages in 1920-ish
they would probably even be higher than wages in 2020 for a clerk
also honestly there is no cure for flu or viruses either these days
the only thing that's changed a bit is better sanitation
some vaccines have worked but most aren't effective and lower your immune system
I'm seeing average weekly wages like:
bakers $25
Brick mining $15
carpenters $27
clerical office work $15
engraver $25
meat packing $18
painters $28
textile worker $7
construction $11
iron worker $28
anyway, you get the picture
do you not understand?
with inflation that's a lot of money
stating what I have just read requires no understanding
I have only stated what I have just read
I have yet to even say anything about it
$28 would be $380.70
in todays money
so you could more than afford to buy a home for 12,000 within 5 years
