A dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to these days.
Remember when you could buy a candy bar for a quarter? When pay phones were a dime? (We know – what’s a pay phone?). When a quarter really could get you almost anything – from a can of soda to a round on an arcade game.
Now you’re lucky if you can get the exact same can of soda for $1 or $1.50. Manufacturing costs and vending machine costs haven’t really made the price jump that high. It’s merely INFLATION AT WORK.

What’s the first thing you looked forward to after landing your first job?
Getting that first paycheck, right?
And what’s the first thing your parents likely told you to do with that paycheck? Put it into the bank. Save that money for a rainy day. You’ll get married some day, or perhaps you’ll want to retire comfortably.
And then you got that note from Human Resources that said, “Congratulations! You’re now eligible to participate in the company’s 401(k) retirement savings plan!”
