So many numbers... I clearly remember when my father made $7,000 a year. I was maybe 11 or so, and I remember thinking (gasp...maybe saying) that I didn't feel that I got my $1,000 out of that (there were seven of us in the family). Remember "Kids Say The Darnedest Things"?
And then when I first came to Canada, I worked as a file clerk for the T. Eaton Company and made $3,000. My husband worked for the U of T as a rat lab technician and earned $6,000. We were so rich, we sent our laundry out to be done. Those were the days...
