    As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    True. But then we'd be eating too much chocolate :)

    It's strange to me looking back.

    My mom talks about getting a candy bar in rare occasions and splitting it with her siblings. I remember making $3.35/hr.

    But my company is starting people out at $30/hr, no experience required.

    Do you know how things stack up (increase in average income to inflation)?

    No. I will say that if inflation is 100%(as it in currently in Argentina) and average income goes up 105%, I would not consider that to be a good situation.
