Still, when my dad was a young man in the 70's, you could still get a regular, low skilled job and still support yourself. It's a shame what's been done to our money and our economy.

My dad got out of the service, worked min. wage for a while til he worked up the ladder. I think our rent was $50/month for a two bedroom, one bath house.

Costs of living have just gone through the roof. Maybe subsidizing has helped that process.
