I was hoping it was a leap year. I was wrong. Seemed like a long February…
End of Feb 2014… not a leap year!

1978, My first house 3 BR, 3700 sq ft, $25k.
I wish I knew the new car prices for those years. In 76 I bought a mew 4WD pickup truck for about 12k
I remember when the price of a new car started to equal the price of a house and when (like now) surpass what most of our houses cost. I find there is no car on the road worth more than I paid for my first house, but when they reach the price of my present house I will walk or use my bicycle and be much healthier too.
My buying regret, a like-new 1956 Chevy for $100 when I was 18. Instead I bought a brand new AMC Javelin-AMX for about $3k and never head the end of buying a car that cost more than our house. When I bought my first house I bought an Audi.
Nice looking Underwood. I’m surprised how little the style changed through the 40s and 50s. I have a standard Underwood from ’47. Besides carriage shift it has some different chrome and it is black otherwise looks quite a bit like yours..

As often as things are corrected for inflation… my mind sticks with what the price was then. 5 cents for candy. $1.00 today. At least in the case of candy as the price went up my consumption went down even with my higher income.
