    "For a kid on a 20 dollar a week allowance" .... Suddenly Scott's insanely free and easy stance towards spending exorbitant amounts of money on landfill makes a lot of sense

    • @LincolnRon
      @LincolnRon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +304

      That's how much most kids I knew got when I was a kid.
      In 1973 a $5.00 item would cost $22.70 in 2006.
      That same item would cost $31.30 in 2021.
      So $5 a week was probably the normal allowance when I was a kid but now $30 a week is probably the normal allowance for a kid.

      @@pollard068 I take it you grew up in the 1950s & 60s or early. Because the average price of a candy bar from 1900 to 1969 was a nickle. A sugar shortage caused the price to double (a dime) in 1970. Then 15 cents in 1973, 20 cents in 1976, and a quarter in 1978. Prices for candy bars have continued to stedily rise at about the same pace.

    I bought Tri-Force Heroes at 5 Below last year which I figured was a good price to check it out before realizing it’s practically unplayable single-player. Shockingly there were matches online but people just spammed the emotes. Plus unlocking costumes was heavily tied to playing with others and miiverse functionality that’s not accessible anymore and I started to want my $5 back.
