[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 610988, member: 6763"]We all dream about going back, but.. Remember that $75 1932 S was a lot of money when you only made $5,000 a year. You probably couldn't have afforded it. As for the $50,000 for that 1913 V-nickel, no chance, you could have bought a house for about $12,500. And it would have been a nice one. $50,000 was probably a near mansion. (or it seemed to be one back then, for that kind of money). Go back? Remember: Very few people had color TV's. No VCR's or DVD's. No PC's. No Internet. No GPS. No Cell Phones. No Remotes to the TV's. (At least none that I ever heard of.) But: Gas was 19 cents a gallon. Kennedy was President, and then he wasn't. Vietnam was a word (and a place) that most had never heard of. Ronald Reagan was still an actor, of sorts. The KKK still had power. There were riots in the streets over civil rights. I think that I'll stay right here. The good old days? Or were they?[/QUOTE]
