earning less than who? I earned 4.50 an hour after I graduated.
Do you understand that 4.50 back then had a lot more buying power than it does today? Give me what I asked for. Will you state clearly that what I said is false?
no it didn't. you're confused. 4.50 was 4.50. That was 22k a year. I lived at home, eventually moved out to an apartment, had a car, had insurance, all under the 22k a year. I made it. I make six figures today, I've been at my company for 43 years. They want my salary today with no effort being made to rise through the ranks. Work in other words. So please, spare me your life choice crying. They make about 55k a year. gas is only a buck and half more than it was back then. rent is 10% greater of the costs back then where I lived then. I had to get a roommate to afford it. What you're advocating is them not having to endure the pain of aging.
