So that gold buys a lot more car today.<br /> Now a more relevant comparison would be a Cessna 150- outside of avionics, the basic aircraft has not changed a lot since the 1950's- but the cost of the airplane has wildly outpaced inflation (one of the rare examples, along with medical care, college costs and a few others.)I attribute a significant amount of this to tort liability costs.<br />Now most things, even with the inflation, are much less expensive today in regard to your purchasing power.ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-21338351666664482322012-09-23T08:25:04.927-05:002012-09-23T08:25:04.927-05:00Thanks Peter, and quite a lineup of good things to...Thanks Peter, and quite a lineup of good things to read!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.com
