My first house cost me 14,000 I thought I remembered 17cts gas maybe im wrong about that.
What I do remember is McDonalds all having Golden Archs with the number of hamburgers sold and it was far less than a Million and we all thought the McDonalds sucked and wouldnt go there. I still thing McDonalds sucks

I remember having to go to the machine for my father to buy him cigarettes. Id put in a quarter and get two cents taped to the side of the pack and trust me thats the truth, they were 23cts a pack in a machine and they had no means then to give you change so they just taped the pennies on the side of each pack.
In a store they were cheaper

I took my copies of the first issues of 'Avengers' and 'X-Men', from 1963, to the shop a while back to show Alan, and one of his people asked me how much I paid for them. I happily said, "Twelve cents". Alan has a copy of 'X-Men #1' in the store on consignment that is not in quite as good condition as mine, and he's asking something like $1600 for it.
When I was an older teenager, ca. 1970-72, I can remember going to the store to buy my mother a carton of Salems for $3.10.

I dont remember xmen comics when I was a kid, I thought they were more modern.
When I was sent for cigarettes I bought them out of the machine, the store didnt want to sell to a 8-9 yr old kid back then either. In the store I believe they were 17 or 19 cts a back for camels

You just have to continually roll with the punches. It is what it is.
This will blow some minds. When I was really young, flying around with my family on those tail-dragging DC-3s - you got on through a hatch in the rear and walked uphill to your seat - the stews would come around during the flight with baskets filled with these little packages of cigarettes, all the popular brands, 2 or 3 cigarettes per package, like they were passing out salted peanuts. The stews knew my family because my father was a pilot for the airline, so they would give my sister and I cigarettes to pass on to our folks. A stewardess - pardon me, flight attendant - giving cigarettes to a five-year-old. Wrap your mind around that!
