When you remember filling the car with gas for under $20 (Cdn). Heck, I used to put $5-10 in it as a student to get me to school/work and back for the week.

Or fabric-covered electrical cords. Remember those on the iron, the blender, etc?

When I got my own car gas was $1.47(usd) and $1.22 at the Indian reservation a few miles down the road. Yet somehow I still managed to run out of gas a few times :rofl: Also, I still own that iron, which is probably older than me! It doesn’t get much use, lol.

When people on the road look at you sideways as you’re rocking out on that ABBA tune in your car. And it’s on 8 track.

You are asked to chose between fullscreen or widescreen for your movie viewing. Then your DVD skips.

When I starting driving (2001) it was .92 cents (us) a gallon. Shortly after it went to a bit over a dollar. I miss the days of filling up for $20 or less

My dad smoked when he was younger and I remember him saying how much they were when he was smoking and how he would never pay the price I was back when I was a smoker. When I quit they were $5.35 a pack. The hubs mentioned the other day they are now almost $9 a pack :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head: Then I did the math based on how much he smoked. We could literally take a whole paid vacation off his cigarette money for 1 year.

I dreamed of doing a road trip in the USA since I was 10 years old (when my uncle did one in 1976). No way I could ever afford it. Then I quit smoking in 2015. I have done 4 awesome ones since. After I quit drinking too I am seriously saving some savings as well now.
