Minimum wage in 1962 was $1.15 and now it's $7.40. So people are making more money than they did then and the cost of living went up, so it should about even out.
Some of these seem off. Movie tickets here are $6.50 for a matinee (not much of a difference, given), $3 for a Coke (a 20 oz costs me $1.10 at work) that seems about right at the Downs. $2 for a daily paper? That seems like bullshit to me, here it's 75 cents and a Sunday paper is $1.25.
The Australian dollar is on about parity with the US dollar atm so this is a rough estimate of Aussie prices:
Gas (Known as Petrol here) = $1.30/litre or $4.90/gallon
Movie = $15.00/adult ticket
Car = $45,000average price
Levis = $100.00(501 or similar)
Beer = $35.00/24carton3.75mlbottles of Coopers Pale Ale or $50/24carton 3.25ml bottles Corona
Coffee = $3.50 large takeaway
House=$500,000-750,000 median price
Gum = $1.00
In Chicago the tribune cost 2.00 if you have it delivered to your house everyday #14. or if you'd like to get it a store it's usually 1.00 or at least 1.75 on sundays. Peace
Hey. Minimum wage here is 8.80 an hour a movie ticket is only $8 none of this $13 crap. An economy class car is about 15,000-35,000 luxury is 35,000 and up. Candians pay more in taxes on a daily basis and for some reason stuff overseas and south of my border (US) is way more expensive.

I was born in 1962. I guess I kinda screwed things up. Sorry about that.

Your prices on the movie ticket are wrong it went up to 10.00 and 20.oo plus for 3D bs
Average income in 1961: $5,315
Just saying.

I can stand the price of gas going up, and maybe the house prices but #9 this? this means war!!!
You haven't adjusted for inflation but its true everytjing seems to cost more now.

$10 for my haircut
#17 the barbie price comparison is so off for the year 2011. barbies can be priced anywhere up to $90. I've sold a few…is freaking crazy.
Prices in the US are very cheap. If your minimum wage is the same as ours in the UK, then I don't get what all the fuss is about.
England
