30's try 70.s I remember at working for that and still had a little left over, but then we weren't supporting all these illegals and house wouldn't fall apart in a few years do to **** poor work standards

But then I remember driving 9 MPG cars but you didn't care at 25 cents a gallon, even at the normal price of 35 cents you could get by with friends chipping in.

Now the tax on gas is more than that a gallon

Remember when somebody called you a redneck it wasn't somethin to be proud of.

My first real job started me out at $1.85 an hour and when I hit $3.00 I was lookin at apartments to move out on my own cause I was loaded.

Remember sneaking into the drive in movies and that old metal speaker that hung on the window.
Vinyl records, eight track tapes of Rush 2112 and Foghat.
