How about $10 a gallon gas and $2000 / month rent?  I'd settle for that.

    Thanks, Barry, 

    But we Puritans think that currency inflation is one of the wages of sin, and if we spend less money, the world will returned to an earlier State of Grace.  I still remember 25 cent gasoline on Ashby Avenue in Berkeley.  That's what gasoline SHOULD cost.

    This may not be any consolation, but these “dollars” you speak of, thanks to inflation, are what we used to call in our childhood, “dimes”.
