[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4549778, member: 101855"]Here’s a little perspective. I was sitting in a college accounting class, and one of the older guys (in his mid 20s, but he seemed older to me since I was 20) commented that one of the local accounting firms was paying “good money” … $9,800.00 a year. My first job in 1971 paid $9,000 a year plus an extra $900 or so for over time. That was a little above the national average. When you take out the taxes, rent and meal money, that did not leave very much for coins. I used to save $100 a month for a "rainy day" and have $50 to $75 a month for coins.[/QUOTE]
