I saw this circulating around and thought it was an interesting read.

Some of these are horrendous, some are funny, and a few made me think “Hmm, maybe not a bad idea”

    The only difference is that I am focusing on the individual’s relationship with a dollar and you are taking the larger view.

    My one and only point is that if someone who had a million in 1933 came to the future and saw what $24 million would buy he’d be outraged.

    The official figures are fine if you’re talking statistics; they fail when you apply them to the real world.

    I think we can all agree on that point.
