BOOMER: "I fed my family of four on $30 a week back in 1970."
ME: "That's $230 adjusted for inflation."
BOOMER: "Exactly. You should be able to do the same."
ME: "Groceries for my family of four are $400 a week now."
BOOMER: "You're just buying expensive stuff."
ME: "I'm buying the same basic food. Milk, bread, chicken, vegetables."
BOOMER: "Well wages must be higher too."
ME: "My job pays $50,000. Yours paid $35,000 in 1970. Adjusted that's $270,000."
BOOMER: "That can't be right."
ME: "It is. Your salary grew with inflation. Food prices grew faster."
BOOMER: "You're just complaining."
ME: "You're just not looking at the math."
You didn't have better budgeting skills. You had wages that kept up with the cost of living.
Mine don't.
