Rather interesting site that seems to put the value of any hard earned money into modern day perspective.

A fun site as well, Heather! I often come across stuff that I wonder what I would have paid for it in terms of my income today.

Based on these calculations, my pension is about 1/6 of what my first job paid me, so it's a good thing I paid into a retirement plan, or I'd still be working
