    That’s basically right.

    $70?

    I could buy a car for that kinda money.

      You just reminded me of a time when $70 felt like nearly unlimited opportunities. Now, $70 means that I might get to buy groceries AND restock on spices.

          Sorry, I meant an extra $70. I was irresponsibly drowsy-posting.

        I found a pizza place near me that still has like 2010 prices. It’s like a large pie with 5 toppings for $20. Most places are more like $30 now, here (NYC)

        I keep being both entertained and baffled for the past three years or so by USians on Reddit complaining about games costing 60 bucks and simultaneously complaining about food delivery that they order every day. Not buying pizza for a couple days? Unimaginable.
