Inflation
I'm watching "Ransom" right now. I was watching the scene where Glen Ford's brother in the film, tells the employees that for thier hard work and discretion, they will each get a $25.00 bonus. That was a fairly nice bonus then. I remember that being a whole lot of money when I was a little kid in the early 1960's. I was curious as to how much it's worth today. For anyone who is interested, I checked the internet inflation calculator.
$25.00 in 1956 = $181.82 in 2006.... probably $200.00 two years later, in 2008!
Just something I thought I'd share......
Have a nice day!
