Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for August 16, 2010

Wouldn’t it be grand if $5,000 per year would still be considered the type of salary which a “rich” guy would be earning?

My folks bought their first house in 1947 for $5,000 and lived in it for the next 63 years. So the house they lived in cost them about $79 per year!

Perhaps, ratio of pay verse cost was bit differient. However, they were still getting over the great depression. There were alot people weren’t working and not earning enough money to get their own home.

Our country, now would have to change into something more productive than bed&breakfast economy and white color light industry to get people working enough to beable enjoy stuff like that, IMO.

I was living high on $10,500. Can’t make on twice that, now!

Sadly for most of US the last ten years have been flat or negative. For the very well to do it has been wonderful. The Depression was sort of like that as well. Hmmm, what does that mean? Also, marrying HER is a major mistake.

In the 70’s I was making $50,000 a year at a steel mill. It closed down in “81 and I haven’t made much more than $12 to $15,000 since.

Typical; someone in a bank comes up with an impractical scheme, and winds up behind bars.

She won’t want him anyways. He doesn’t make enough. I did always wonder where he got the job at the bank from.

Hmm, i wonder if they are running these strips randomly
