Wow! I love this, and can remember when things were like that. I would have been 7 when this was written. I remember when my father was so happy to be making $100.00 a week! That seemed like SO much money then, but with four children to feed and dress it didn't go far. And yes, my mother had to go to work when I started school. (I was the baby). Yes, times have changed, and yet our thinking really hasn't changed. Inflation has made all those amounts go up but they are still in proportion to what they were then, if that makes sense. Have a blessed and Happy New Year. I didn't make it to the Tuesday 4 meme yet as I was still trying to get caught up with Christmas. Maybe I'll try it later. Thank you for doing this.
Loved this Annie. This was the year I was born.
