Looks nice until you notice the bathroom situation.

It still baffles me how expensive medical care is in the US. Having to pay to have a baby?! 😭 And even to just get an ambulance from what I’ve heard. Where I’m from it’s all free (public healthcare). There are also private hospitals where you have to pay but it’s still affordable to the general public for simple appointments and procedures (but can be expensive for surgeries, admissions, etc - still cheaper than the US!). I hope that the US can someday may this basic human necessity free or, in the least, more affordable to its people.

It's not the prices that get me, it's all the adjectives that they're using.

You would think that college couldn't get any more expensive than that (accounting for inflation) but here we are. Imagine being able to buy a house with two years worth of money from an average salary.

The great depression, 1929 - 1939. And at any time, take "average" with a grain of salt.

The postage stamp looks like a ripoff compared to other things on this list

ill take the lot

They had me at 150 pink jeeps

I wonder if 70 years from now people will look at the $230,000 I paid for a co-op junior 4 and think "wow what a steal"?

Spaghetti for 1.22? The definition of heaven on earth

Bruh that wasn't even that long ago...... Right?!?!

I bet he didn't see that coming

It should be noted that these prices were for the American Woolworth’s.

Free tv in every room

"Authentic Mexican Food"!

Those burgers were huge! The ones they sell today are tiny in comparison.

Care of baby @ $1.00 per day!

That's still really expensive for the time and average salary.

You can buy these at Ikea now for about double that money.

I would kill for a 1969 Mustang that's only $2260

My dad wore these into the 2010s

Compared to 40 years prior, the average salary increased by 13x, average house price increased by 40x.

The baby care charge from the 1947 bill in an earlier post was only $1 a day. Looks like the price gouging was well and truly starting in the 1950s

They are crazy expensive now.

A price I can afford.

Average monthly income was $170, rent $40, less than quarter of income going on rent. A new house is less than twice the annual income.

They had to rent the hot water tank?

I don't think the black woman would go over very well today.

Take away price? So you paid less just for hitting up the drive thru? Dang! 'Murica, we got robbed! :D :D

Compared to 10 years prior, the average income is 2.5x larger and the average house price is 4x larger.

I want a free Halloween goblin balloon.

I can feel the sprained ankles from here
