minus-squarePerogiBoi@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up19·1 year agoThis is so uniquely depressing. They were accurate on my annual wage in 2024 yet they assumed I’d be working less than 40 hours 😭
minus-squareBonehead@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoI think you misread that, because $40,000 in 1966 is roughly $385,000 in today’s dollars. Edit: conversely, $40,000 in today’s dollars would be $4,176.25 in 1966.
