With the USPS raising postage again, Cary Watkins from MNTDL took a look back over the past 50 years. Cary has posted some interesting numbers to think about. In 1963, the average income was $5,807.00 per year, the population was 189,241,798, Kennedy was the President. The average home price was $19,300.00, postage $.05 per stamp, gas only $.30 per gallon, and milk $.49 per gallon. The Federal Debt $310 BILLION. The most current data for 2013 is an average income of $51,404, population 316,160,000, Obama is the President, average home price $199,200, gas $3.56 per gallon, milk $3.48 per gallon and postage is $.46. Federal debt over $17 TRILLION… Over the past 50 years the average income has climbed $45,597, average price of a home has increased $179,900, the price of a gallon of gas is up $3.26, milk $2.54, and the price of a stamp up $.41 since 1963. Makes one wonder what things will cost in another 50 years…
