Happy Birthday Mom!

Tomorrow my mom celebrates her 80th birthday.  She was born in 1930, and so, 1930 was a good year for her.  She has seen a lot of things in her lifetime so far.

I found some interesting trivia about 1930 and listed it below.  I know it was quite awhile ago, but it’s fun to look at some of those things.  It is probably a lot fun for mom.

What Did Thing Cost In 1930?

A New House – $7,146.00
Average Income – $1,973.00 per year
A New Car – $610.00
Average Rent – $15.00 per month
Tuition to Harvard University – $400.00 per year
Movie Ticket – 25¢
Gasoline – 10¢ per gallon
United States Postage Stamp – 2¢
Sugar – 65¢ for 10 pounds
Vitamin D Milk – 56¢ per gallon
Ground Coffee – 46¢ per pound
Bacon – 25¢ per pound
Eggs – 15¢ per dozen
Fresh Ground Hamburger – 13¢ per pound
Fresh Baked Bread – 9¢ per loaf

Now you may wish prices were that low today, but, on the other hand, I don’t think we would want salaries and opportunities to be today like they were in 1930, do you?  But still, a new car for $610?  Wow.
