Axomamma@BLTpizza It's actually $12.80. But the "inflation calculator" doesn't even begin to tell the whole story. In 1979 two friends and I rented a three-bedroom apartment on Charles Street in Boston. It cost $600/month. Today that apartment rents for $4,400/month.
If the price increased by only the rate of inflation, the rent would be $2,900/month.
