My pension of 3K in 2009 should be $ 3,978.00 today if it kept up with inflation.
I don't grieve over that. These numbers were expected.
What my contributions to the pension fund, compared to what I have received and spent and plan on getting( who knows), is well beyond any inflation numbers. I've already won.
That's why my spend it all plan works!

That’s probably still better than some pensions out there… but damn, what did a house cost in 86??? You could almost make the mortgage on two houses.. try doing that on 1600 now.

His house payment was $80 a month for a new 3 bedroom ranch from 1960 - 1980.

Smart.
My work car was the laughing stock of the center by the time I retired. Had it for 24 years.

We always buy used cars, I read about people paying 70k for a new truck that just sounds crazy to me. We make good money at UPS but that's still a chunk of change.
