The thing that she conveniently glosses over is that 1) it was in 1960s dollars, about a factor of 10 - 100 higher when adjusted for inflation, and 2) she was also paying tuition, room and board, which probably added at least $50/month in 1960 dollars, or $1000/month in 2006 dollars. That's a far cry from talking about $2/month as if it were 2006 dollars, which is what the discussion was about...living on <$100/month total salary in 2006. Eric Lucas

In 1973 ? my first full-time job paid ?2000 p.a. ( ? 38.46 weekly ). It seemed like a good rate of pay for a youngster at the time. Heck, my rent was only ?28.16 p.c.m too ! Graham
