Cost Of Living by Year

Where as the “Cost of Living” has become a big problem, I’m putting together a survey to detail how bad it has become for those starting out.

The common (objective) will be the “family start year” , regardless of marriage or just becoming responsible for your family.

To start off i’ll put in my statistics for the year I got married!

YEAR	AGE	VOC TRAINING AND COST	HOURLY WAGE	WAGE EARNERS	LOCATION	MIN-WAGE	RENTAL COST	HOME PURCHASE COST & YEAR
#1) – 1964	21	Trade School Free	$3.12 hr $6,240.00 yr	one wage earner needed	Southern California	$1.25	$74.50 month furn 2-br apt	$13,500 in 1966 3br 1-ba

#1) Hourly wage was 2 1/2 times minimum wage, 3-days wages paid rent, little over twice annual income bought a home! Update my $13,500 home in 1966 is now $673,000 as per Zillow today.
