I remember when inflation became a clear concept to me. Comic books went from 5 cents to 10 cents in the mid-fifties. Ice cream cones 5 cents per dip, hamburgers ten for a dollar, ice cream sundae - 25 cents - with 3 dips! Candy bars 5 cents. Even after we were married in the late 60s we took a vacation in northern Minnesota and stayed in a cabin, with a 1/2 bath and a fishing boat for $40 a week (I was making $5,900 a year as a high school teacher and head basketball coach).
