Reality check: plug past prices into an inflation calculator and see the current value. For many/most things, not really much REAL difference.

But for an old guy like me it is hard not to think that everything is WAY more expensive now.

I had a good job in high school bagging groceries at an Air Force commissary. Tips only, but I would make $2 to $2.50 most of the time. Good money in the mid 60's.

Even earlier I had worked in various agricultural related jobs: peach drying yard, peach cannery, tomato packing shed, onion and garlic dehydrating factory. All good paying jobs for a teenager.

But $50 a night for a babysitter sounds VERY expensive.
