In 1930- the year that my Grandmother was born:
Life expectancy for a man was 58 years old and a woman was 61
Average salary: $1,368
Quart of milk: $.14
Loaf of bread: $.09
Postage stamp: $.02
In 2010:
Life expectancy for a man is 75 years old and a woman is 80 (Grandmother, don't worry-you still have many more years to go :)
Average salary: Not sure but a lot more than $1,300
Gallon of milk:$3.50ish
Loaf of bread: $2.30
Postage stamp: $.44
Wow, you have seen a lot of change but you haven't changed that much. You are still a beautiful woman inside and out. Happy Birthday!
I love this.
