The 10x money rule

Postby bboswell » Mon May 30, 2005 8:21 pm

Here's a quick help for people listening to shows from the mid/late 40s to mid- 50s

If you are listening to a show and want to get an idea for equalizing the inflation that has occured in the last 50 years, here's a quick rule-of-thumb.

Multiply the money figure by 10 for an approximate modern-day equivalent value. This seems to work well enough to at least get the gist of what's going on.

It's not infallable, but it's a start!
